I am a very strong proponent of giving a nice warning and then beating up, and it gives them instant karma in a way that they don't get from an ahelp. Thinking on it, this belief is probably why I can do things like beat unwary traitors to death with their own weapons going in unarmed, now-look at it as a robustness growth opportunity for you, and a way to help them grow(by beating them up).
Mind you, if someone's acting weird enough and the situation's odd, I'll run through ahelp first. Especially if the person is robust/geared but not quite killing the hell out of people, and I want to immediately and abruptly murder them for whatever horrible behavior they're doing because any intermediate actions will lead to me just dying and them obtaining a possible smugface "ha ha they're a shitter and they died" and little else(this has come up more than it should).
tl;dr-Honestly I think random bashing isn't that bad. Just hit 'em back. Try to use proportionate response, try to use a bit less if you think you won't get murdered horribly for it. Keep a medkit on you, that's huge if you're really worried.
