Not if it creates a bigger problem than it solves.

Hmm.
Although many editors would prefer that
expression of POV be
discouraged on user pages, many others believe that bias is better
declared.
The more I think about it, the more I agree with the first. I find it
harder to assume good faith when someone blatantly states their strong
POV. Someone says "I am anti-abortion", then proceeds to edit pages
pertaining to abortion - what are you going to assume? That he's there
to fix typos?
For the same reason that we don't allow strong POV usernames
(AntiAbortionCrusader etc), shouldn't we discourage stating of POVs on
userpages?
