I would just like to make it clear, for the record, that I am a hypocrite. I've complained about anonymous -- votes before, but I couldn't be bothered to post a reason on this particular -- vote. I disagreed with [KM|KM's] suggestion, voted it --, and moved on. Shame on me.
<P>
The reason I voted id down is because I disagree with the idea that everything but HTML should be stripped from home nodes (on replies, I have no problem with it, but I didn't see that when I voted it down). Basically, a Monk's home node is their personal space (albeit freely granted by <A HREF="The Everything Development Company">The Everything Development Company</A>) and I can understand why they customize it. I can understand these things being security issues, but part of the problem here is striking a balance between diligence and freedom. Let's face it, one of the things that so many people find appealing about Perlmonks is the customization we can do.
<P>
I have CSS on my [Ovid|home node], some have JavaScript, while others have forms that submit to CGI scripts. While I admit that sometimes these things get carried away, I feel that they add to the charm of this site. Yes, let's find ways to address security holes, but don't take away one of the things that makes Perlmonks special.
<P>
Cheers,<BR>

<B>Update:</B> Aargh! After reading through some of the comments and seeing some of the stuff that's going on in the chatterbox, I have to say that I was wrong in the above post. Sometimes kids need to have their toys taken away :(
