I didn't make any personal attacks. I think the phrase "Counter
Vandalism Unit" has fascistic overtones, and I think it's lame. I
wasn't trying to broadcast this or stomp on everyone's fun, just state
my opinion on my own userpage. I wasn't forcing this down anyone's
throats, nor making any personal attacks. I had no idea who any of the
people involved were.
The solution is simple enough - the box obviously offends some people.
Rather than fight about it, be the bigger person and remove it yourself.
Then place some nicely phrased text explaining what you feel, text that will
inspire people to think, instead of inspiring them to remove it from your
user page.
End result - thoughful discourse and an end to a revert war.
