I think this is somewhat of a false dichotomy - making a good faith effort
to warn and discuss and work with problematic editors is almost always the
best course, with banning an unfortunate less desirable second choice if the
situation persists for long periods of time.

Most people do respond well to good faith efforts to get them to behave
better...
