::::::The terminology used is important to the point being made otherwise it wouldn't be used. I'm not nitpicking the terminology. I'm presenting a rebuttal of your points based on the fact they are flawed. Using "POV userbox" is a deceptive misnomer" as ALL userboxes are POV. If you mean controversial ones then say so. Like I said, you don't appear to fully understand the terms you are using because the way you are using them is erroneous. --[[User:WebHamster|'''<font color="#000000">Web</font><font color="#ff0000">H</font><font color="#000000">amster</font>]]''' 00:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Actually, the whole speech I mentioned earlier seems relevant somehow, now that I've read it again.[http://deoxy.org/pkd_how2build.htm] -- [[User:Kendrick7|Kendrick7]]<sup>[[User_talk:Kendrick7|talk]]</sup> 05:01, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:::::::The policy inspiring this whole debate does ''not'' read, ''"Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for propaganda, advocacy, or recruitment of any kind, <strike>commercial</strike>, political, religious, or otherwise, opinion pieces on current affairs or politics, self-promotion, <strike>or advertising</strike>."'' Yet, anyway. But I feel as if that is how it is being interpreted. Coke vs. Pepsi, Flintstones vs. Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hulk Hogan vs. Grim Reaper - these are all ''controversies'' in which some people may ''advocate'' for one side or the other. It makes no sense to me that a person should be permitted to say that they enjoy watching the Flintstones but not that they enjoy reading the [[Tao te Ching]] or the [[Koran]]. Do you mean to tell me that those are bad things for an encyclopedia author to say that they approve of, and that only children's cartoons and men who stage fake fights on pay per view are worthy of being allowed? Please, let's be reasonable here! [[User:Wnt|Wnt]] ([[User talk:Wnt|talk]]) 19:01, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
