I think you vastly oversimplify saying "faulty persons should not be celebrated..." MLK Jr had, what I consider -- quite possibly with a modern mindset that people at the time wouldn't have shared -- certain personal failings, I have no problem celebrating his accomplishments without ignoring his problems. JFK, RFK, Ghandi or Mother Teresa. Alan Moore (gollywog?), Roman Polanski...should we be celebrating these people's achievements while they consistently ignore their abuses? The problem, I believe, with John K, is (1) the extremeness of his personal/moral failures. We're talking about using and abusing underage girls, not consenting adults. That's exceptionally bad (^tm). Then (2), the relative dismissal of the problem up to this date. Maybe one day we can recognize what John K contributed to the art form despite the problematic personal/moral failings, but we need to get past those failings first -- justice, punishment, (in an ideal world -- hah!) rehabilitation. At best we're on step 1 here (recognize that there is a problem) and you're calling for forgiveness already? Whatever else, I say it's too soon.
