Oppose.

1) I feel this rule is way to easy to misuse and people will be banned from their message wall because of bias, not because they can't converse civilly. This can also be abused if the admin starts the conflict in which a user becomes hostile on their message wall.

Example: Igor was banned for something like this from his message wall before he even made a message.

2) The rule for them to be able to edit their message wall is for their self defense and they can handle that any way they want. If they become hostile, it's much easier for an admin to begin ignoring them until they do and a much more peceful way to resolve a conflict or ban.

Example: (I'm using this one in particular because I mentioned it on another post just yesterday + it's relevant w/ Duck's demotion) The fight on Discord was started by and escalated due to a staff member on this wiki.

3) If someone like Samuel (haven't actually looked @ the page) is causing conflict with regular users, that's their fault for involving themselves with him on his message wall. It's not like a user can come after you anywhere but their own message wall so I feel it's their fault, not the banned persons fault, if a conflict arises.

Example: Many of the fights here could be avoided if just one party manned up and ignored the other. And this was when someone wasn't banned and could harass you on chat, your talk page, forums, blogs, ect. And fights have been solved by one party ignoring the other on all these forms of media, so I'm not sure why it's such a big deal if they offend you on their own message wall.

4) I feel people need to be able to defend themselves.
