#12That Twitter guy should be ignored, some people just want to find something to be outraged about.

#13NippleJS is a totally cool name! Guy is insecure, not your problem. Move on, is what I'd recommend.

#15Giving you a star just for the name!

#16Don't change the name. It's awesome. Every time a request like that is honor, the world becomes a little bit more riddicolous place.

#17I'm sorry you have to deal with this..
I find it very amusing that he says "It feels like a microcosm of politics in 2018"
I agree with him there, if he means people finding reason to be offended over anything..
He was scared of mentioning using your library to his colleagues, but has no worries shouting about it to the world on twitter?
It makes me sad that people go out of their way to rob the harmless small joys of others.

#18He's trying to bully you into changing the name, instead of accepting the communities decision.

#19I hate how politics keeps creeping in software industry. A few weeks ago there was a heated debate on Twitter over changing "SLAVE" to "REPLICA" in Redis, and sadly the maintainer gave in to the pressure.

#20Woman here. I don’t find the name offensive or foul or exclusionary, though I don’t find it especially humorous either and could understand why it might make some people uncomfortable. With that in mind, I’d describe it as a bit crass; and in a career context, unprofessional. Not worth getting into a flame war over, either way.
