People are however not allowed to say that they are pedophiles on their userpage, and presumably there is a ban to go with it if the Arbcom is not just wanking.
Pray, how does saying "look at me, I'm a paedophile, look at my pretty box" help us to build an encyclopaedia?
How does arguing with me help us to build an encyclopedia? Cease now or you will be banned.
You are asking the wrong question. The real question is whether such a thing HURTS the encyclopedia. And the answer is a resounding no. It may make some anal-retentive conservatives avoid Wikipedia, but that shouldn't be a problem. We don't need to be seen as good by the press. We just need to produce a good product in the article space.
And, pray tell, how did Jimbo's knee-jerk ban of Joeyramoney help us build an encyclopedia?
