**I think the original comment is correct - we should not object over the format of the userboxes. However, there is also a namespace issue here, and commentary that should by normal guidelines be limited to userspace should be limited there whether marked up or not. That said, I think that a very relaxed attitude toward commentary on userpages is in order. Heck, I've been editing [[Omar Osama bin Laden]] recently and I'd love to have a list of people with a suicide bomber userbox to ask how well Omar is playing in Peoria, and to get some contributions citing the "specialized" Arabic literature. (I think some other people in the U.S. would have even better uses for a list like that...) That said, I understand we don't want to start any holy wars here, and also that some userboxes are more likely to be slapped pejoratively on the userpages of people who are away for a few months than to be displayed honestly by believers. But making a rule that the editors shouldn't talk about killing each other is at least a little more restrained than some of the ideas here.
