Neutral point of view is a core Wikipedia policy. Harassing users who
are football fans doesn't logically relate to that policy. It just
interjects a sour note into our social scene. But you would no doubt
maintain that having a "social scene" is not "building an
encyclopedia". I would maintain making users feel at home, putting up
some pictures of the wife and kids and of their dog on the walls of
their "cubical" is part of building an encyclopedia. This userbox
fuss has done absolutely nothing to advance the project. Just wasted
our time and caused serious conflict, much more conflict than letting
things take their course would have resulted in.

Bravo! Fred hits the nail on the head. Trying to destroy userboxes has
done the project far more harm than that userboxes ever did.
