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.

I am user:Eyeon. Sysop:SlimVirgin has wrongly suspended me, accusing me of using sockpuppets (user:niglet and user:fecologist) to get around 3rr. Furthermore, she has blocked editing of Feces article for content reasons, and admits it on the talk:feces page - quote: "If any regular editor wants to edit, drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll unprotect." I'm pretty sure that the role of a sysop is NOT to pre-screen edits.
