Taking a stance of 'no matter what their views are' seems a bit extreme to me, for example, I would not mind people who condone the killing or expulsion of a given race being 'cancelled'. My concern is primarily with people taking comments that don't reflect a person's current views, willingly disregarding context or simply having views I don't find particularly objectionable.

To be fair, and as far as I'm aware, RMS never bothered to inform anyone of his "current" views on pedophilia until after the fact of the Medium article going viral[0]. His prior views on the matter were current as far as the public record was concerned until that point, and RMS was willing to let that stand for about 20 years.
