There is one exception to this: "pure" vandalism from a logged in
contributor when I can't be found in a timely fashion.  It's a little
(a lot?) fuzzy as to what is "pure" vandalism, but it's pretty safe to
say that if you have to ask, it isn't.

Examples of pure vandalism would be logging in and writing curse
words in articles, posting pornographic pictures, randomly deleting
content, randomly changing content to have simple wrong facts.

"George shit Washington was born last Thursday, and here's a naked
picture of him I found on goatse."

That sort of thing.

But if it's just a content fight, then a ban is a serious last resort
after much annoying and tiresome conversation.  :-)
