Well, I'm pretty sure "being a dick" was a bannable offense before, so the change of rules is then basically unnecessary.

Obviously some people didn't understand that this policy would be included in "don't be a dick", otherwise we wouldn't be seeing all this pushback.

The pushback is totally justified. Because this is about "you have to say what we command you to", instead of "you should just not be a dick".
