I prefer to extend the benefit of doubt until trolls reveal themselves. They usually get anti-social pretty quickly - expletives, ad-hominem attacks, overt insults. In my opinion, OregonBlitzkrieg hadn't crossed that line but given his BearInsider remote trolling it's a moot point. Trolls will be trolls and it's a bullet dodged.
Still, Garvin's point is a good one. If we assume every visitor is a troll until proven otherwise we'll dodge an OBK but we may also miss a Utah61, Outsiderfan, BigAppleBucky, 71Bear or Ferris Bueller and the other "Honorable Heathens". I'd counsel a slightly slower triggerfinger (and that doesn't mean to put away the gun!)

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
