*'''Keep''' per Avruch's well-written comments. We have userboxes on iraqi resistance, opposition to homosexual marriage.. lots of things people could find offensive. There's no need to cross the "good taste" line into "censoring".

Revision as of 17:29, 8 June 2008
User:Hexagon1/Imagfriend
Userboxes like this are just silly, the user is being inconsiderate of other editors beliefs, and it's not exactly helping to build a strong sense of community. I'd even go as far as to say this is incivil. Something like "This user is an atheist", "This user does not beleive in God" etc. would be fine, but this is a little too far.
