But then people are free to say dont be rude -ontopic part here- which could lead to arguments hence the origin for that particular rule I think.

If you said it directly to someone then yes, if not then I don't think so. Like you could say that when you lose an event or something? Wouldn't be rude to anyone. That's always what I've followed/been told.

Isn't saying "don't patronise me" also telling a user not to be rude? I don't think telling somebody to use manners is attempting to impersonate a moderator. There's an obvious distinction between someone correcting someone and someone impersonating a moderator, for example:

A) Don't be so rude...
B) You must respect other users rules a32 says:
