I think it's reasonable if only so you can avoid the overhead of needing to deal woth censors. There's also a lot of overlap between open source and free speech, so I can understand a natural distaste for censorship in general.
To olay devil's advocate, what's wrong with offending people who read your source code? You can't harass people through source code in a meaningful way because you can't force them to look at the code through natural interaction with GitHub itself, if they see a project that is insulting, they can just ignore it.
It's not like a social media site where you can ensure your victims' feeds will be polluted with your insults.
