11) While not explicitly stated on Wikipedia:User page, it is implict 
there that users should refrain from creating user pages likely to bring 
the project into disrepute. The pedophile userbox (and the like) falls 
into this category. Note that this should not be construed to bar 
reasonable criticism of the project.

We have gone from a "live and let live" culture to one of political 
correctness, where anything that could "bring the project into 
disrepute" is a bad thing. This just leaves me totally speechless, to 
the point where I'm considering making my user page more and more 
"disreputable" until I am blocked.
