To theists

It still seems like oppression to me nonetheless.

Not our problem.

I would rather the staff issued unambiguous warnings

We do.

than act like the Gestapo.

Whom have we shot for dissension?

You might want to check that, by his own admission, Esquilax wasn't doing any of that in his capacity as a moderator.

So you're supporting a charge of abuse of Staff power by pointing out where a member of Staff wasn't doing that?

I still don't think it would be right to do such things, not even as a moderator, and least of all publicly and in such a hateful manner,

I agree about doing it in a hateful manner, another allegation you need to support, however the rest is sort of the whole point of a discussion forum as opposed to, say, a mutual masturbation party.

You were not merely disagreeing with him, nor were you doing it as one member to another. So far, I have never witnessed this kind of outrageous behaviour towards members of the forum outside of mods doing it 'off-duty'.

These two sentences flat-out contradict one another.

You are the only ones that seem to think it ok to order people around and bully them into leaving the forum, even when no rule is being actually broken.

Sorry but that's not a call you get to make unless and until you are in possession of the full facts of each case.

I have received the same treatment in the past and can readily attest to this.

Then attest to it. Afterwards you can explain why you haven't been bullied into leaving.
