I agree up, down, and sideways that factionalism

for and against userboxes, it's not at all clear that rampant,
heavyhanded deletion of userboxes (which are, after all, merely
a symptom of the real problem) will automatically make things
any better.
Agree. We should start out with statements of what the community
wants - "please don't create or use ideological userboxes, they upset
people".
