is worse than pedophilia since at least the victims of pedophilia have the opportunity to recover and carry on with their lives.
But has there ever been anyone who wanted to put "I enjoy committing murder" on their user page?
You're moving the goalposts a bit here. I was responding to a proposal to plain out "ban pedophiles", regardless of what they did or did not post to Wikipedia.
I think it's reasonable to have all sorts of restrictions on what people post on userpages, those are totally within our purview. Going beyond that and banning people for stuff they do or believe or feel _outside_ of Wikipedia is where we're into less supported territory.
