Why is it that I agree with Sam Spade? Honestly, I still do not see what all the fuss is about. Let people play with their silly trinkets. They will tire of them and make new trinkets later. All you do in heaping so much attention on one particular trinket is guarantee its prolonged existence.

Taking away peoples user boxes is pointless and disruptive. Admins who think they should defy consensus to delete peoples self labels are out of line. I understand that discussing mastrabation is in bad taste. So are ALOT of user pages. I have been very disturbed by users whose pages tell me they are into Satanism, are a "perverted trannfag", or have a giant che image or soviet star. The single most disruptive user page I know is this one:

and it has no user boxes.
If there are real objections, craft real policy to deal w them. Do not persecute a popular trend in a disruptive manner. That just reinforces rebellion and resentment against haughty admins.
