Others will be treated the same way.

I banned a troll. Others will be treated the same way.

The question to which I responded was whether all trolls are equally recognized as such. That's hard to do when you heartily agree with the position of some and despise the position of others.

OTOH, when you ban trolls from one side, you reduce the trolls on the other side because trolls attract counter trolls. The counter-trolls may lose interest and disappear. So perhaps it's not necessary to admonish both sides equally to achieve the desired effect. It's only necessary if you care about appearing even-handed.
