Should PvP activities result in a PvE response? Lol. Don't think so.

I agree with you in principle. But dueling should not be allowed in commercial areas (banks, crafting stations, guild trading kiosks) because it is bad for business; it may break immersion; and, perhaps most important of all, it may affect game performance for the innocent bystanders. For those reasons it should be disabled in or near those areas. As players may not interfere with a duel, belligerents should never be allowed to interfere with players who are engaged in peaceable activities.

why not a simple yes or no poll?

Duelling in the middle of a bank or a crafting area is inappropiate. Even in the middle of a city, town square or whatever. Back in the days when people duelled, they did not do it in a bank, a crafting area or the middle of a city. They met on the outskirts, or the nearby woods, at dawn or at dusk. So I think it would be an awesome idea if the guards intervened, that's kind of what you would expect.
In a pub - probably just another bar brawl, and is probably fine. Though the bar owner may get a little upset and present a bill for damages. That would be awesome too, and if you didn't pay up you got a bounty.
I have duelling on auto-decline, not because I'm against duelling per se. I just don't want to duel complete random strangers who invite me at an inappropriate place when I am not dressed for the occasion. I go duelling with friends on a quiet beach, where we can have fun, and actually put on the right armour and the right skills.
I haven't voted because I don't think it should be a crime. Just frowned upon.
