Is this a challenge?  There is a reasonable limit on what one can say
on a userpage,

"Personal statements that could be considered polemical, such as
opinions on matters unrelated to Wikipedia" are specifically
disallowed in the guideline "Wikipedia:User page".  While this is a
guideline, and not policy, it does create a presumption that, if
someone objected to an apparently polemical statement on your
userpage, you'd at least undertake a good faith effort to demonstrate
how this benefits the project.  You really don't get to tell the
fellow "stay off my userpage."

I can see a lot of administrators getting pretty worried if you
persistently retained a statement of personal opinion similar to the
one you gave above on a page anywhere in Wikipedia.
