Everyone loves subjective rules, as long as the benevolent dictator applies them more-or-less consistently, and as long as the community doesn't get so big that it doesn't scale.

Anyway, haven't finished reading the interview, but the word "asshole" or "rule" doesn't appear in it.

Edit: finished it, there's absolutely nothing like the headline in the entire interview.
