Ok I think I see what you're saying now, and agree that it can happen,
that a negative aura surrounding a subject can override attempts at
its objective discussion.
But my OP was less concerned with the shape of his mustache, but
rather, if recalled, what you would do if you were a "barber and he
came up to you one day for a shave and a hair-cut".
I think I was concerned with when or where would some of us draw the
line (if anywhere) as to where we don't do business for someone.
What if you were a medical researcher or nuclear-scientist in the
original-post scenerio?

I spoke recently with someone who happens to like some elements of
Nazi fashion, and that's fine. I hear their boots were quite nice.
Metaphorically-speaking, am I to presume you have a concern for how
you'll be seen, that you're "unable or unwilling to put them on"?
Here're the boots again:
"So are you saying that you'd work for Hitler then, designing his
death camps (to place in your portfolio), because it's about the
architecture, not the client?"
What size are you?

I think George Orwell and Charlie Chaplin both had a similar 'stache.
