One person's pedantry is another person's dickishness. One person's nitpicking is another person's "what a jerk". One person's pruning the weeds is another person's harassment. We all frequent social spaces all the time. You say the basic rule of all social spaces was "don't be a dick", and yet ... which is fine, some situations call for decisive signals (which may include "being a dick").
I've always appreciated the no-sugar-coating clear feedback signals this community sends, while others have bemoaned exactly that. I don't see signals using provided feedback mechanisms as out of bounds, absent a clear rule.
Well yeah, but that's why it requires discussion. (More "constitutional article" than "rule", maybe.) OTOH, this appears to be the sort of behaviour that causes new rules, and may cause retrospective ones.
