What's wrong with the KGB? And if a user covered their user page with lots of images
with the CIA (which on a worldwide scale has a far worse reputation than the KGB) would
that be acceptable?

My thinking is that if a person presents themselves in an obnoxious
way that they are being disruptive. After all Hitler, if he were
alive, could edit anonymously.
If a user covers their user page with swastikas or emblems of the KGB
or the information that they are a pedophile and really think its
Ok, they are doing us harm both internally and externally and based
on how bad it is and how much trouble they are causing we can take
action.

On the pedophilia issue ... I find pedophiles
disgusting, but even
if someone self-identifies as a pedophile, they are not breaking
the law with that admission. If there is evidence that they are
doing something, like trying to get in contact with children via
WP, than there has to be some sort of process to take care of that.
I mean, there is a fairly balanced article on NAMBLA on WP. This
userbox issue over the weekend was the final thing that fully
swayed my thinking on userboxes and if there isn't some sort of
guideline, these sorts of things will happen again.
