For the record I was once in that position, but I learned eventually that bitterness is only useful if you can get some vengeance, otherwise the only one it hurts is you. I would recommend you pick up a copy of the Necronomicon to put those sort of people in their place, it worked wonders for me.

As for classification purposes you may encounter other contributors who feel certain characters can be forgiven I happen to be on the more conservative side of the definition of words like "hero" and "good" if only so they don't become meaningless. (Example: I don't care how many fan-fictions and back-stories there are to Sephiroth, he only ever acts as an antagonist).

But just because you want to stick to your guns doesn't mean you should not reflect on the arguments of others, for harmony and functionality sake. Be prepared for others to make their arguments about character redemption and try to figure out for yourself where the line between, "Maybe they are right about this" and "These people are talking out of their butts." because that is a very important limit to internalize when working on public projects.
