Do you prefer your business to be completely separated from your personal life? If you disliked a person, but liked their product/business, would you still buy/do business with them? This can go for products, celebrities, anyone really. I was just curious how far you're willing to go because you dislike someone.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right. But an example might be: You have a favorite band. You love that band. But you find out they are totally cool with animal testing and even support certain labs. Would that turn you away from that band or would you just stick to listening to their music?
There are several people I dislike (maybe that's too harsh, but for lack of a better term) but I enjoy their songs, movies, products, whatever. I find myself teetering between "Well that's their PERSONAL life" and "Omg what crazy person. I don't want to support them!". (And, I suppose, do you feel like you're 'supporting' someone when you buy their products, watch their movies, etc.?)
Now, there's always exceptions, but in general, does a person's personal life affect if you do business with/for them/whatever?
