I'll admit it's a very subjective situation, I believe your case. If it ever gets like the Guard Cops, it will be TOTD worthy.
Above FL180 and airline ops, I'd rank the "blocked" behavior as pretty disciplined. Most guys are too lazy to say it and know any additional syllables crap up a busy frequency. There are times when ATC is really busy and one can tell that they don't realize their last clearance was blocked, and as mentioned, is followed by a "listen up" bark as if the call sign was ignored and not blocked.

All guard police are tools and that is a nationwide thing in my experience.

And I think you weren't there, and don't know what you're talking about. The guy who responded with the push clearance was a different guy from the one who reminded everyone that they were on Guard.

I have found that more often than not, miscommunication, for whatever reason, is best sorted out directly between the parties involved and that "help" from parties outside the discussion, whether intended to actually be helpful or not, usually doesn't help.

Ask any controller and they will tell you they hate it when the hear "blocked" If they don't get a response from the aircraft they are trying to contact, they will try again in a few seconds. They don't need help from any one else.

Pilots don't know how many frequencies a controller is working, and sometimes a pilot and a controller are stepping on each other, hearing "blocked" usually indicates to other pilots to listen up to the controller and there are times the controller has no idea he is getting blocked and then gets ****ed. if nobody says "blocked" the controller will finally get a word in and then sometimes will say something to the effect of "callsign xxxx third call contact....." when in fact it's the fault of some reject racist doctor in a 182 that doesn't know when to just listen.
