Why is it that I agree with Sam Spade? Honestly, I still do not see
what all the fuss is about. Let people play with their silly trinkets.
They will tire of them and make new trinkets later. All you do in
heaping so much attention on one particular trinket is guarantee its
prolonged existence.

pages tell me they are into Satanism, are a "perverted trannfag", or
have a giant che image or soviet star. The single most disruptive user
page I know is this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deeceevoice
and it has no user boxes.
If there are real objections, craft real policy to deal w them. Do not
persecute a popular trend in a disruptive manner. That just reinforces
rebellion and resentment against haughty admins.
