Well said. So many implications there, your title captures it though - separate the art from the artist. I'll try to remember that more. Heck. Might just stick a post it on the desk.

What artists? A better way to put this would be like, the guy who works at McDonald's is a rapist, so seperate the rapists from the burger or whatever. Writing code or making burgers isn't art, it's just a job.

Great food for thought. I would have appreciated more insights, and I think many others would share this belief
