It's the fact that it isn't an official rule, but people believe it is, and it is being enforced as such. That is exactly why I'm saying that, if it's going to be used as reference for rules and punishments, then it should officially be amended to the rulebook. I believe a form of these guidelines should exist in the rulebook and apply to everyone fairly and equally. If it's not in the rulebook, why should anyone face any punishments that deal with this behavior? I never said it was a bad thing for people to not act like a dick, and I do believe everybody should strive to maintain this attitude in life, but that's sadly just not how the real world works. So, if there's not official rules or stipulations in place for these situations in this league, not the world as a whole, why would/should anyone go into it believing they need to act or not act in a specific way?
