User:Blacken/Userbox Freedom

Userbox Freedom is a simple idea: the idea that a user's user page is his or her own, that the content there may be whatever they wish, so long as the following tenets are followed:

 Racism, homophobia, and other attacks upon individuals' personal lifestyle choices are staunchly avoided. This does not mean that one must subscribe to ideological neutrality out of fear of insulting or offending others; see my Userbox about GNU/Linux for an example. A fair, courteous, and polite manner of discussion is the standard. Disagreement and discussion are acceptable and encouraged, but aggression and disharmonious behavior are repudiated. The space given generously by Wikipedia is not abused with large images or other technical burdens. 

This is in polite contrast with some of the policies of Userboxes, which I personally would like to see changed. Because If this sort of thing appeals to you, feel free to leave your name and a comment on the talk page. Suggestions for more to add to this page are welcome.
