My point was ... where are any of the things he's implying listed in the rulebook?
The obligations and duties are covered by rules such as interference, crash rule, obstruction and double first base. My point is the a rule doesn't have to be labeled as such. The rule and penalty speaks for itself.

This is a general statement irrespective of the specifics of the post.
