for an explanation for the mastrabating user box. It was ment to be a
disruptive, offensive insult, and is in no way indicative of a larger
trend toward increasingly unreasonable userboxes.

Taking away peoples user boxes is pointless and

are ALOT of user pages. I have been very disturbed by users whose
pages tell me they are into Satanism, are a "perverted trannfag", or
have a giant che image or soviet star. The single most disruptive user
page I know is this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deeceevoice
and it has no user boxes.
If there are real objections, craft real policy to deal w them. Do not
persecute a popular trend in a disruptive manner. That just reinforces
rebellion and resentment against haughty admins.
