In theory you are right, but experience shows, that

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

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_controv…
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.
