I'd day this ship has sailed when he became a celebrity. Comment on him positively, you're now contributing to elevating his identity into something beyond human (etc.). Comment on him negatively, and now you're just using him as a scapegoat (etc.). It would seem like the real devil is in the asymmetry of significance, not in the people in question, or even the traits.
