banned means banned, Don't they understand how sick they really are? Options

[mbz1]

A few days ago I told my friend that, when a user is banned from wikipedia, his user page is replaced with banned user template. She looked at me, and asked "why?" I was not able to explain to her "why" because a normal person will never be able to understand it anyway.

Even before I was banned, I observed how a "little shit" Daedalus969 (T-C-L-K-R-D) and other "little shits" were doing this, but today a sitting arbitrator AGK (T-C-L-K-R-D) did it too:
"banned means banned; barnstars, and his actual userpage, are in the history"
Why, AGK, did you do it? What is wrong, if below the banned user template there would be barnstars? What are you afraid of? Don't you understand how sick it looks to normal people?

And suddenly I realized that "the banned user template" is the only thing I'd like to be associated with me in the insane asylum that calls "wikipedia" http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...0&oldid=3513926.

Back to the topic of the thread this user who used to be an admin on a few wiki projects asked to lock his account himself. Nowhere, and I mean nowhere his user page was replaced with misleading template except of course English wikipedia, where a little shit Night Ranger  (T-C-L-K-R-D) did it.
This template is unneeded. Maybe somebody will be kind enough to undo the grave dancing.

Concerning the last link listed above, I don't agree with Mbz1's defense of WizardOfOz. WizardOfOz blocked Beeblebrox for the same reasons he blocked Abd:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...page=User%3AAbd

http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...er%3ABeeblebrox

These blocks were acts of "kindness enforcement". "Kindness enforcement" is rampant on Meta:

WizardOfOz also blocked both of them indefinitely (i.e. you may only return once you yield and conform your behavior and beliefs to what we dictate), and he blocked both of their abilities to send Emails. WizardOfOz also blocked Beeblebrox's ability to reply on his or her talk page.

When someone dared criticize WizardOfOz and his or her blocks strongly and passionately, WizardOfOz decided to throw a temper tantrum. Sorry mbz1, but PeterSymonds doesn't owe WizardOfOz an apology.

Concerning Night_Ranger, he or she is obviously an obsessive, patrallor-type Wikipedian:

1.There was no policy about involved administrators on Meta, when the block was imposed.

2. The block was right. It is rather sad and strange, but User:Beeblebrox who is English Wikipedia admin and English Wikipedia oversighter is not stable enough to be allowed to contribute to Meta and here's why:

*a. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...v&oldid=3419372 edit summary: "what an asshole"
*b. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...v&oldid=3474645 edit summary: "the lunatics are running the asylum"
*c. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...v&oldid=3475067 edit summary: "fuck this site and the abusive cowards that for the most part administrate it."
*d. http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?titl...v&oldid=3473569 "go away now you abusive disgrace of an admin"

But this does not matter, if Wizard was right or wrong. He asked for a lock himself, and templating his user page under such circumstances is misleading.
