Vandals are often trollish. Don't feed the trolls, just clean up after them and only block when you need to.

Should any of us declare war on vandals?
Aren't most vandals people who are just being juvenile, and likely if shown how much fun being a productive contributor to Wikipedia is, would rather have their edits last, influencing others?
Shouldn't we distinguish between fighting vandalism and fighting vandals? It's not personal -- it's business. Right?
Isn't declaring war a gross violation of assuming good faith?
Please tell me why "declaring war" on vandals is a good idea.
Who's been declaring war on vandals?
