vandalism goes on on User pages? It's one of the main reasons for blocking anons.
The Talk page is for editing.
The User page is for a person's philosophy, who they are, what they are.
Why do you feel the need to do that?
What's wrong with just editing the Talk page and leaving the User page alone?
I have a slightly different perspective of what a user page is (but I agree your perpective is the most common one).
"The User page is for a person's philosophy, who they are, what they are. "
This is true. But to be most relevant, "who I am" or "what I am" is something best described by several points of view. Not only mine.
I can describe what I think I am. You can describe what you think I am, or what you think I think I am. I do not exist only through my perception, but through what all you perceive of me.
So, this is fine that you write on my user page, as long as it is only about me. The user page is not MY page, it is a page about ME :-) sorry about taking so long to answer your mail but work
committments have kept me away from my pc.i partially agree with what you have to say.what i cannot understand is all the aggravation and personal attacks over this issue.can`t we all just settle this matter amicably.i do not think a user page should be used to attack him or her but rather for constructive criticism.what wikipedians are saying to each other is not constructive but rather destructive.
