Quite clearly two unrelated policies are in conflict in this instance:
1) WP:AUTO says that you can't edit your own article; you should post
complaints on the talk page instead.
2) WP:BAN says that banned editors can't edit anything, except
possibly their own user talk page.

No one ever thought of the situation where the subject of an article
is a banned editor. Now that it's happened, the conflict has to be
resolved by setting a priority to the above. Consensus in this thread
appears to be that WP:AUTO overrules WP:BAN. Problem solved. Have a
nice day and thank your mother for the rabbits.
