Even I can see how he's being obnoxious, what with the bible references and all, but that's no excuse for mistreating a user.
I'm not being drawn into a conversation about this with someone who only joined the other day and has no experience about how we as staff make decisions, let alone about how previous users who have been subject to staff action have been 'treated'. If you've got a formal complaint make it through the appropriate channels. I read between the lines here and get the impression you are saying things for the sake of saying things, but needless to say, no user has been mistreated in the above.
What would those appropriate channels be? Complaining to you in private? I think not. Nowhere in the rules does it say I am not allowed to point out bigotry and oppression where I see it, regardless of my rank as a member of the forum.
If you guys can exploit your powers publicly, so can I criticize it in the same manner.
If you have a problem with that, go ahead and ban me. Otherwise, I don't really give a shit.
I never said anything about how you as a staff make decisions, nor have I said anything about how previous users have been treated. Pay attention to what I actually said.
