The troll-calling provision is roughly the equivalent of posting a "sharks in the water" sign on the beach.

Sharks in the water signs, with people swimming in the surf is hard to imagine. I find your equivalency extremely weak and abetting of a well established tactic used to quell honest debate.

If 56 was honest debate, then I am a creationist.

That was pure and simply called a flamebait.

The warning was posted immediately to put a stop to it before it got out of hand.

To warn others NOT to engage the obvious flamebaiting poster that had posted BEFORE the warning.

And THAT post was #56 and it was so obvious that it was insane.

As you wish, I'm just trying to be very clear. Hugs!
