Mega props to FakeSeve for that stock message and KwarK for that absolutely golden post.

Well, I find several bans/warnings in your history.
You saying "the insult are hilarious to everybody else" is in this regard hopefully not the overall TL stance.
Like I already said I don´t find the PM ok, while I know that it´s not meant insulting. Not everyone is ok with such things (and I personally don´t think KwarKs post in this topic was ok, a normal user would be warned/banned for sure. The "this is our house" has a limit imo).
I hope my overall post history indicates pro staff opinion, so this is not read as a simple "drama" post. And now go on for everyone not ok that OP says he´s not ok with being insulted.
That´s my feedback, what is done with it knowing that others disagree is up to staff.

Well, if the nerd was making some stupid comments to the schoolyard bully, yes I would probably clap along and say that he deserved it.
Well, yeah but the insults sure are hilarious to everybody else.

That's like clapping along to a schoolyard bully beating a nerd. Insults aren't funny to the person being insulted.

I've read through the whole post and pieced together a few things. I'm on the side of the OP and will say that Kwark stepped out of line:
1) OP makes a bad "first" post and got justifiably warned. Obviously, the stock warning message was in jest but in poor taste, especially if the user is new and didn't get it.
2) OP makes a post in General to complain: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=373092#1
Reading through the post, I didn't find much mistake other than it was in the wrong forum. I don't really blame the OP since the Website Feedback link is right at the bottom and easy to miss. Kwark closed the thread decided to warn him instead of simply moving it to Website Feedback.
3) To compound it, Kwark decided to throw a few unnecessary insults.
4) OP is now extremely incensed and posts this thread. Many users criticise the OP's snarky attitude but realise that many things have already happened. However, if the OP had instead adopted a better attitude, perhaps he would've won more sympathy and the issue gets resolved faster.
5) Kwark fans the flame:
6) Fortunately, a more level-headed admin (Plexa) steps in and diffuses the situation.

The post you got warned for ended
"Am I just being stupid to feel offended?"
The answer was yes for then and doubly yes for now. A warning is no big deal, just an instruction not to do what you got warned for. For some reason (maybe stupidity, maybe some other deficiency on your part, maybe something else) you felt the need to post "first". Now I don't wish to speculate about why (maybe you're dumb?) but the why (dumb maybe?) doesn't really matter, you posted "first" and you got warned for it because it's a shitty post that we don't do on teamliquid.
You then felt the need for some reason (dropped on your head as a child?) to make a shitty topic in general forum asking if you were stupid for being offended by a standard warning message you got for making a shitty post. I then warned you for making such a shitty topic because you should have known better after you already got warned for shitposting but didn't know better for some reason (maybe foetal alcohol syndrome?). I also answered your question, although it was just my opinion and if you would like an official diagnosis of stupid then please consult a medical professional.
I would not like to hazard a guess at why you saw the need to make yet another topic as you may get offended by my speculation on the matter

It actually does. Same as a person with no criminal offences is a better law-abiding citizen. When you're looking for role-models, you don't look at an ex-con, you look to the model citizen. And it's bloody scary to see people on TL of all places support insults (especially those based on comparisons with mentally challenged people).
I have a warning message named after me. Do I get bonus points?
