Here's what I think we should do.  I don't expect it to be popular, but
compromises never are...

1. The userbox wikiproject go through and get rid of all userbox images used
that have inappropriate copyright permissions for userpages, including fair
use images.  Likewise they make sure there are no meta-template issues in
the userboxes.  The Wikiproject agrees to police these problems itself in
the future.

2. Kelly Martin aknowledges that there are many serious contributors who
like userboxes, so her decision to delete userboxes in defiance of those
contributors' opinions was an overreaction.

3. We all go back to the live-and-let-live attitude that lets us write an
encyclopedia.
