I find this offensive to everyone on the Net.  It implies we are
children who need newsgroups named ``butterfly'', and cry at the sight
of the the words ``naughty'' and ``recovery''.

In my youth, I took part in campaigns against religion.  Likewise, the
word blessed is offensive to me.

Will you now ``cater'' to me by retracting this change?
If not, why should we cater to you?
