Ok, I see how you are all behaving.
Now Martin and Angela are cooperating in vandalizing my home page, despite my repeated pleas to stop harassing me. And no one on the Wiki-En list seems to have a problem with their harassment and vandalism.
So this is how it is going to work: If Wikipedia policy allows them to vandalize my home page, then it should also allow me to do the same to theirs.
If it is wrong for me to do this to them, then it is also wrong for them to do the same to me.
It is your choice what kind of community we have. Martin and Angela, despite my repeated desperate pleas, have made it clear what kind of behaviour they find acceptable to do unto others. And many of you have made it clear that you don't have a problem with this.
Personally, I find your choices incomprehensible. I think this way leads to insanity, and the destruction of any semblance of Wiki-community.
The only choice is to follow my original proposal: When someone begs and pleads for a person to stop shoving harassment onto their home page, then that person should stop doing so. Your way - i.e. allowing this behaviour - is simply insane.
But it is up to you. All I know is that I refuse to follow the current Wikipedia policy, which is to forbid me alone from changing other people's home pages, but allowing others to harass me.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
There is no law that says you have to stay at the W. Nobody is forcing you. Deal with it.

Enough. Robert, I've put you in my filter so I don't have to read any more of your rants.

This has probably been explained before, but I think you're overreacting to something that's not really an issue here. As far as I can tell they didn't edit your user page at all, only your *talk* page. The talk page is a message-board of sorts, in which people can ask you questions or make comments directed at you, and you'll notice them through the "you have new messages" notification. It's not in any way your personal page, just a place for people to leave you messages. So adding a message there is fully in keeping with its indended use, not "vandalism."
I think most of us here are fairly reasonable people, so if there were actually vandalism directed at you, even those who generally disagreed with you would agree it was unwarranted and do something about it (so there's no need to take retributive steps instead). I don't think that's the case here though.
