In theory you are right, but experience shows, that most editors who feel offended by it, will get blocked sooner or later, because no policy tells them, that the results of 3 month old poll is a binding decision and ignoring it will as likely as not result in a block.
From the page in question:
<!--
NOTE ABOUT THE IMAGE: For many days, discussions occurred and polls were conducted on the talk pages of this article and in February 2006 the super majority (over 80% of contributing editors) decision was to keep the image displayed as it currently is without a "linkimage" and with no added warning template or text. Thus based upon this, unilateral (without general consensus) removal, hiding, relocation or resizing of this image (particularly in a repetitive fashion) will be considered disruptive editing, detrimental to Wikipedia, and may result in a block of your account and/or IP address. Additionally, polls were taken regarding adding image warnings to this article with the polls deciding that like the rest of Wikipedia's articles, no warning shall be added to this one. If you wish to discuss aspects of the display of the image of the cartoons, please do so in a civil manner by posting in the image discussion area of this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controve...
Do not unilaterally remove images or add image warnings. Thanks!
If you wish to hide the image of the cartoons on this article, follow these steps: * Create an account * Edit the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:YOURUSERNAME/monobook.css * Add #mi{display: none;}
Aferwards the image will not show. Following these steps does not edit the article itself, just how it is presented to you personally. However there is a slight risk of disrupting your browser's presentation of other articles which contain similar code. Further details available on the above Image-Display Talk Page.-->
Is this not ample enough warning? Seems fairly clearly laid out to me. --LV
