So you're saying that you delete the boxes because you don't like their presence? I don't buy that argument. There must be a practical reason for not wanting them.

It's not like they're being censored. They can
still talk about icecream

I don't care about the resources. It's the culture of having these "prefabricated opinion statements" for people to pick and choose from. Pretty much everything on my user page COULD be reduced to a userbox. But to do so is vile and repulsive, if you ask me.
