I'm not sure how you could miss it -- blame or praise _directly_
reflect what the command does (give the person/changeset responsible
for each line of  the source).

You're being way too serious about it.  Relax.  I was joking.  Ha ha.  Funny.

[To be honest, name like "blame" might actually _reduce_ flaming
tendencies, as it explicitly raises the issue, and mocks it.  That
people actually are disturbed by "blame" seems vaguely absurd; it
brings to mind the edict from above when I was in college, that the
command name "finger" should be changed to something "less
offensive".]
