Yes, exactly that. Determined effort in the face of warnings (or even polite requests) is the behaviour problem. Simply linking in the first place is not in and of itself a behaviour problem, but it's a problem of a different kind which is best solved by removing the links and being polite but firm about it.
Or: "Don't be a dick. If people abided by this, we wouldn't need any other policies."
This is partly I think a problem of the demographic of Wikipedia. I find not so very many editors who are able to successfully picture themselves in others' shoes, and appreciate their perspective. This also applies to me in this case, as I am simply unable to appreciate why anyone would /want/ to link to Wikipedia Review, still less make a federal case of it.
