I think if somebody is a genius people are more willing to separate things.

I'm not saying it's right, but it happens.

Appreciating someone's work and still appreciating that person as a person are different though

Depends what the person has done.

I stopped listening to Lost Prophets because of the lead Singer .

But as I previously said some can separate the art from the person.

I probably misunderstood your question.
I thought you meant going off a person as also going off their work or being unable to enjoy it anymore.
