Paladin, if you are talking about the "extreme" attitude towards anthropomorphism/tajseem, incorrect 'aqidah, statements belying the Qur'an/ahadith and the like, then be sure, he was not extreme but only doing what every accountable muslim should be doing, bidding the lawful and forbidding the unlawful. As for the "easy" takfeer, be sure that I have yet to date heard an "easy" takfeer without justification of its reason AND 1st advising the person of their error. Some people say they are too extreme, then I would say these people dont care about preserving the truth. Only a blind hearted person will ignore the horrendous things being implented into our great religion! Furthermore, I can find many scholars today who are on the same path as Sheikh Abdullaah's (rahimaullaah) teachings. Subhan'Allaah, but many of the Ahlusunna have fell for the tajseemi's lies and accusations and do not realise that they are aiding them in disuniting the sunnis. Subhan'Allaah, may Allaah guide us.
