is being read that way by several of us...) much further. I don't
think there's support or a consensus for much further. Wikipedia
isn't a blog, social networking site, or user homepage - but it is a
community, and a working environment (volunteer as it is), and as
David points out, people like to decorate their cubes (in whatever
form cubes take). This is normal human behavior and not something to
be arbitrarily squashed.
Well then, please read in the on-topic fashion - if done
in such a way
as to "lower the tone", I recall, userpages are not really welcome to
contain just anything. But the misreading of userspace=user page here is
vexing. The problem comes, re blogging, when people really do "blog" on
dedicated user pages, in violation of WP:USER, and apparently stand on
their rights to do that.
