I don't know whether refusing to follow the instructions of a flight attendant amounts to any kind of legal violation or not. But it's probably a contractual violation - i.e., you buy a ticket, subject to the condition that you obey the instructions of airline employees while in transit, else they an kick you off the plane. There's no difference I can see between refusing to follow a general request and refusing to follow a specific one, but I suspect that there are government regulations saying that the attendant can't kick you off the plane until you have been given your own personal request.
