The userbox project has become a poisonous pit that explicitly targets those who do not like userboxes, and it is actively fostering a crusade mentality. This is a systemic problem, not one of specific boxes. In short, the project itself needs to go.
While your wording may be a bit harsh, it does convey sentiments of quite a few frustrated Wikipedians.

For what it's worth, I don't think disbanding the project without creating some kind of guideline for future userboxes would be a good idea. The project has standardized what was before a haphhazard collection of template naming schemes and such. What they did needed to be done, and I think it'd be an insult to all who worked on it to allow it to get back to the way it was.
