I can say from experience, moderators are in place to ensure that the flow of discussion isn't disrupted by people misbehaving. It's a bit much to think of forum rules as 'justice', as they are an analog at best for that concept.

Take it seriously. You should. But, when the tone gets personal and insulting, your message gets lost. It's no longer about combating the injustices of religion. It's about browbeating another individual until they shut up.
You can attack a person aggressively for holding a viewpoint, but you're not likely to change their mind doing so. The viewpoint is the actual problem, why not focus on that?
Tell that to your friends Rythm and Rob, regarding tone. They are both men who I have great respect for, but they are also the guys who started this fire, they are your fellow mods, and I doubt it ever would have come to this if they had avoided being so blunt before they walked off.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
