Ok firstly, Darwinian wasn't being hypocritical. AngelThMan stated in his post:
Bolding mine. In other words, AngelThMan was trying to create his own rules for his own thread. Sorry, but that's not how things work here. You may start the thread, but the discussion is open. If people want to be insulting, it's down to them. You can't stop them, and neither will the staff.
Darwinian responded by saying that AngelThMan could not "dictate how or with what tone other members choose to reply", and AngelThMan agreed, explaining the intention of his original message. Darwinian also said that unsuitable posts are dealt with by the staff, which is true. At no point did he say that unsuitable posts were ones that insulted or contained swear words.
There isn't any abuse of power here. Darwinian objected to you insulting him, as any of us would have seeing as it was a meaningless insult. There was no need to insult him; he'd done absolutely nothing wrong.
