[[Piss_Christ]] [[Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy]]...
I hate that people keep bringing examples such as these up. There is a HUGE difference between NPOV articles being inflammatory to religions or people (such as [[Piss Christ]] and the cartoons thing), and posting inflammatory statements on your userpage! I can't even begin to understand how people can compare putting "I think GWB is an asshat" on your userpage with including one of the most notable cartoons in history in the encyclopedia.
Hey are you know going to argue that user namespace shouldn't be inflamitory?
User pages aren't NPOV. The userbox problem is a direct result of this - the debate is where to draw the line.
And yes, I'm back. I checked into my hostel in Frankfurt and spotted a leftover Wikimania banner proudly displayed behind the desk. Didn't quite get to Jordanhill Station, but I inadvertently visited Welshpool.
