I actually saw this one earlier when I was checking out reported posts. While you may have thought that Ruggie's decision was a bit harsh, you're not allowed to call that in thread. Questioning a moderator decision in thread is a bannable offence. The Rugby forum charter is explicit:

Do not question moderator decisions on the thread.

So he's not really abusing his powers. He's just upholding the charter. You can't really have long winded discussions in a thread about moderating decisions. It would constantly ruin threads. I hope that clears things up for you.
