We don't always publicly admonish abusive posts. Sometimes we do, sometimes not. Sometimes we just give out a temp ban to the offender. You sent several mods a private message and we were happy to handle your complaints privately. But now that you've gone public we will respond - you bring some of this on yourself. Don't go posting about your insider info and then get thin skinned when someone calls you out or gets annoyed with you acting like you know more than everyone. You have a solid history of inflaming tensions in various threads. To wit:

"I guess its teaching time."

I'm truly in awe that you think this would not provoke anyone. Stop doing that sort of thing and start treating others as you want to be treated.

Having said all that, there is never a reason for people to get personal and call names and as such that person is getting banned for a little while. As for the thread, once it goes off the rails (and really that started to happen after your quote above) and there are too many posts that are off topic, snarky, or otherwise not helpful we lock it.
