Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with?

  You are not obligated to read the book.

  You should feel obligated to nothing except to remunerate people fairly for their work if you want it.

    Sure, I am obviously not obligated to read the book, but what I was specifically responding to was the following remark:

    Yeah isolating yourself from everyone you disagree with is awesome, truly nothing bad ever comes out of it.

    which in turn was a response to the following:

    Do you have to agree with everyone you give your money to? What sort of economy would that be?

    Probably a pretty nice one, actually.
