I agree up, down, and sideways that factionalism is very, very bad for the project. But given that it has begun to take root, and especially when one of the factional splits is between those for and against userboxes, it's not at all clear that rampant, heavyhanded deletion of userboxes (which are, after all, merely a symptom of the real problem) will automatically make things any better.
Agree. We should start out with statements of what the community wants - "please don't create or use ideological userboxes, they upset people". If, a couple of months from now, people are still doing it, then we can call the gestapo.
