The actions of any person impacts how others view that person.

We are indeed what we do

Anyone is free to do as they will but 'not in my name'

"We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.
He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.
There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.
When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies."

Martin Luther King, jr
