WP:UBX guidelines: "Avoid negative verb phrases which can be potentially divisive, such as: dislikes, despises, hates, loathes" AnAwesomeArticleEditor (talk) 23:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - In existence since 2006 and transcluded to over 20 userpages. I boldly slightly aldjusted the wording. Side note: part of User:Richard0612/Userbox Archive. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 01:28, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - semantics is not a blunt tool, and the guideline says "avoid" rather than "do not use" because context is everything (hence "potentially divisive"). "Dislikes [ethnic group of people]" would be offensive but "Dislikes [deadly disease]" would be uncontroversially acceptable. "I dislike meat" is only divisive if I also say "...and everybody who likes meat is stupid", which is not in any way implied in the userbox, even without Godsy's change. --bonadea contributions talk 06:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I fail to see how this could be divisive, especially with Godsy's changes --The Wrong Tea (talk) 16:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above comments. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I wish to withdraw the nomination; you bring up valid points and I've changed my mind on the nomination. AnAwesomeArticleEditor (talk) 00:47, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
