There is nothing wrong with fixing links and adding barnstars and such. But I
do agree that overall editorial control over user pages should be with users.
That said, I do not at all support the default protection of user pages. Many
admins feel the need to protect their user pages; I don't, but I don't take
issue with those that do. 

Live and let live and all that happy crap people!
