I think I've posted something regarding the murder of Servetus and Calvin's involvement in the past for the same concerns your friend had. I guess I came to the conclusion that whether the accusations are true or not; Calvin is just a man, not the Savior. Now would it be my habit to follow the teachings of so called murderers...no. However, I believe that what is called calvinism is nothing more or nothing less than the gospel...the truth of Scripture. So whether Calvin did these things or not is of no importance to me. I hold to reformed theology because I believe it is the truth not according to Calvin or anyone else, but the truth of God's word.

And to be honest, if God chose to use this vessel (me) in such a capacity for his glory, I would by no means be found without fault, and I'm not talking about pre-salvation...none of us would.
