Berating players as you just described is grounds to be thrown out. I have had opponents thrown out for doing this. Some get multiple warnings, others are thown out on the first complaint.

Getting upset over suspected collusion is different. You should have better handled that situation. The suspected colluders would have been the ones getting the warning.

nicknaming some nit "old man winter" is not "berating" someone. Neither, necessarily is the use of the f-bomb over collusion. The collusion part may have been berating them but it doesn't explicitly say that. If someone were colluding, I may say, "What the [censored]?" That's not berating them.

Again, I'm not saying the op wasn't being a complete ass here, just that none of this sounds "abusive" to me.
