Hardly. No ban by an admin is truely permanent. Any other admin can revert
the ban at any time.

At Talk:Feces, we have THOROUGHLY discussed the issue, and public opinion
is
in FAVOR of including the image. 16 to 10.
Furthermore, if you read her 'pre-screening' message, it is not intended
to
let consensus emerge. It is intended to exclude me from contributing. Read
her words at talk:feces.
The 24 hours is not the end of the world for me. But SlimVirgin has
PERMANENTLY blocked two newbies. As far as Wiki editing goes, it IS the
end
of the world for them.
Well whatever the case, 24 hours of not editing a
page on feces isn't
going to be the end of the world, is it? "Pre-screening" -- also known
as coming to some sort of agreement before getting into or continuing
a revert war -- is often an essential way of keeping articles from
getting, um, crapped up in the process of disagreement. If a user
can't be bothered to discuss changes beforehand with other editors
before insisting on re-inserting and reverting contentious
information, I think that's a good sign of a problem.
