i guess that i don't think it's something new or novel ("cancel culture") that associating with unpopular people makes your board/conference/project unpopular. if you choose to sit at the toe jam kids' table, don't be surprised when nobody else wants to sit near you in class.
@Hyolobrika that cuts both ways, though! organizations should be free to *avoid* people, organizations, or anything they don't like or agree with.
