The introductory paragraph of the rules in general, as well as the introduction to Rule 1, are kind of rule 0.0 substitutes.

Do I think the rules might benefit from writing this out a bit better? Yeah, probably.
Some variant of "This is a roleplaying game. Engage in fairplay and treat others as you would expect to be treated." or some such would not hurt.
But I do also agree with the people saying that "don't be a dick" probably should not have to be written out in a multiplayer environment.
