heavyhanded deletion of userboxes (which are, after all, merely
a symptom of the real problem) will automatically make things

Agree. We should start out with statements of what the community
wants - "please don't create or use ideological userboxes, they upset
people". If, a couple of months from now, people are still doing it,
then we can call the gestapo.
