Even if he did call somebody an offensive word, this looks like gross over-reaction. Deleting the comment - and maybe banning for a day or two from commenting on issues, to get the point through - would be appropriate. Deleting all modules and locking all content other people are using, thus punishing them much more than the original author - is a completely disproportional reaction. The fact that github can and is willing cause massive amounts of breakage to people's code because somebody left mildly offensive comment is really scary.
