Up to a point. If the editor has made a good point we may wish to discuss it
even though the user is banned. And I've seen (I forget with whom, so 
don't ask
me for the dif) at least one case where the insistence on removing 
banned edits
led to a ridiculous result- the sock had fixed a spelling error in an article
and then people reverted it and insisted that it stay reverted. I have trouble
seeing what that accomplishes.
