To my recollection I haven't used 3RR for nearly a year. If someone is editing like a dick, it's usually easy enough to block them for disruption.
This is fair comment: 3RR is diagnostic of disruption, but far from being the only such diagnostic. On the other hand, not everybody has your level of confidence in their own judgment, so 3RR is a worthwhile policy as giving a good indication that blocking a given dick will not be viewed as contentious.
