"Cut the crap already. Unless you're a pedophile, you don't have anything to worry about. And even then, all you have to do is stay quite about it and you'll be fine. On Wikipedia, we are focused on creating and maintaining an encyclopedia, not a social networking profile. If racists, pedophiles, murderers, thieves or prostitutes find the need to announce themselves as such, then they are at the wrong place. Stop looking at the policy as ""Block on sight"" and instead look at it as ""Don't disclose controversial information about yourself or otherwise you'll be blocked."" I think that if you look at it that way, it sounds perfectly fair. Its fair because this is an encyclopedia and there is no need to disclose that kind of information anywhere. back ☎
