In the original meta page, "dick" was already a euphemism for "fuckhead" ...

Nevertheless, "don't be a dick" (in whatever form) is the basic rule
of all social spaces; all other rules are local commentary. If we can
just say that in some form, it'll hopefully save some work in dealing
with the creatively dickish.
