It seemed like the author was just trying to please people while being apathetic to the whole thing. This isn't an issue of censorship, people who want the library and all references of it online to be removed are trying to censor the author. If you own a repo and choose not to host someone's project because of an offensive name, that's fair. It's not stopping the project from being hosted elsewhere. Plenty of programming forums will ask a user to change his name if it's reported as offensive, it's the same thing. It's not stopping him form still participating in the community nor is it censorship because if he chooses to post the same thing under the same name somewhere else he's welcome to.
If they want to continue hosting the project under the original name, fine, if they want to ask him to change the name, fine, but hiding behind "free speech" is ridiculous.
