It should be noted
that use of [belief] userboxes
is strongly discouraged at Wikipedia,
and it is likely
that very soon,
all these userboxes will be deleted
or,
moved to userspace.
Their use and creation
is not recommended
at this time.

... and yet...
"The simple fact of the matter is that in this entire userbox conflict,
I have actually done absolutely nothing.
There have been no decrees from me, no mass deletions,
nothing but a serious attempt to engage a wide variety of people in serious discussion."

Jimbo Wales,
commenting on the utter lack of actual policy statements made by him
during the entire userbox debate.
Such is the koan of Jimbo.
(He's asked us to figure this one out on our own. I figured out what works for me: writing an encyclopedia. Don't worry so much about self-expression; that's not what we're here for. Now you remember that, and help me write this thing.)
