I found it hard to reconcile his charming and witty comic strips with some of the ugly things he wrote elsewhere. I would never usually throw a book away, but I made an exception for one of his books, because I didn't want anyone to see it on my bookshelf and I didn't want to give to anyone else.

People aren’t just one thing. They can be right about one thing and wrong about other things.

It basically says more about us than it does about the other person we "admire."

Basically, what do you value more and what can you excuse?

Enjoyment is a different thing than admiration. Folks who initially enjoyed Adams' work, later found they couldn't.

His work had become associated with his opinions and folks were unhappy with having his remarks return to their mind again and again. Losing his books stopped that cycle.

I've gotten rid of stuff that had negative associations for me. It was good for me.
