I agree with you, Jim. Let's discuss things first,

if
they remove the userboxes, then there's little

in discussing the issue. And I'm not referring to
the
so-called "inflammatory" userboxes.
Without examples, this isn't going to go anywhere. It's not like Jimbo knows which of his 800+ admins have been doing this. (If you're not referring to polemical userboxes, even I don't know.)
I think that Kelly Martin deleted a userbox that said: "This user supports the reunification of [[Romania]] and [[Moldova]]." People had to re-add the userbox by themselves.
That is a polemical userbox (at least, that's what is argued by a number of admins; I don't count myself as one of them, but I don't care whether these userboxes stay or go).
As for those who have been blocked, see this discussion:

That guy was blocked for 24-hours for disruption. What disruption is that, I ask myself? I see no disruption.
Ask Kelly. Don't go behind her back to the mailing list. If she blocks you too, then come here.
