Such a profile might not all exist in a database, but some of these assertions may be scattered around the [[opinion wiki]] or talk pages in [[content wiki]].  In general we should not be shy about compiling all that is revealed by any end user in one place, if only so they know it's revealed, and can edit it if it's not right, or if they change their mind.  [[Large public wikis]] very often run into huge potential [[libel]] problems by letting [[sysop]]s or overly enthusiastic users talk about others' motives and make up adjectives to describe others' statements.  This sort of thing must be strictly forbidden by [[Consumerium Governance Organization]], it's actually worse even than [[outing]].
