I'd be creeped out, but would make an effort to treat the guy normally despite him being creepy.

I would consider him to be mentally ill.

Similarly, if somebody said "I'm a schizophrenic and sometimes I hear voices telling me to felch goats, but no worries, I know that they're just auditory hallucinations and I'd never felch a goat," then I'd be creeped out, but would make an effort to treat the guy normally despite him being creepy.

You can't (rather, you shouldn't) condemn somebody for something they can't control (even if that something is a desire to have sex with children or an auditory hallucination telling them to felch goats), but at the same time I can't control being a bit creeped out.
