Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

My opinion is that open source documentation is like polite dinner conversation: It’s not the proper place to discuss politics.

If an author wishes to use their open source project as a platform to discuss politics, that’s the author’s prerogative. But then, as perhaps in this instance, it could be to the detriment of the project itself.

Skirt too short, in other words?

I'm going to place the blame on the party committing the crimes, not the person exercising free expression.

This is a zero sum take. There are no winners, only the people you deem using free expression correctly. Would a developer who names releases like "Ukrainians are nazi's" or "Taiwan is China" be met with this same sympathy? Or would you brush them off as a mouthpiece for those governments? I'm thinking it's the latter. Free expression is rarely anything other than socially acceptable expression.
