I don't buy in anyone being 100% good, or 100% bad.

Mind you, some people could find umbrage with someone in an ice-cream cone and commit themselves to the projection that they’re never going to like one thing about X-person, even if they engage with them in various ways. I think what’s big for me is not being actively complicit in systemic bias (like racism, like rape-apologetics) just to spite the nose off-of another person. When it crosses that line, the person’s very-much in my bad books until and unless (and that can be a big if, ’cause some people really will compromise their integrity just-to spite you) they try and find a way of coming back from that low, and it sticks. At that point it’s not about, for me, whether they have good traits or not. Sacrificing your integrity to heinous limits just puts a dark cloud over whatever’s good about that person to me. When someone’s willing to stoop so low, it just says bad thing after bad thing about them to me.
