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.

nicjnaming 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 mayb 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.

Ok, this is taking a wrong turn.

1. I am a jerk / tool whatever, I know this, thank you all for reminding of this.
2. I was not berating. An old nit who was horrible for the game found himself with a nickname. I will make players bad for the game feel uncomfortable, players good for the game feel welcome, this is standard. See point #1 if you do not like this.
3. With the collusion, I did not berate, my response was something like "what the [censored], that is [censored] you cheating [censored]", again standard. They know I know and I know they know I know or such.
4. I am a drunk not an alcholic, alcoholics go to meetings. My behavior with zero drinks actually may have been much worse. See point #1.
