I generally agree, except for this part: "Deleting the entire project as he did is an incredibly petty and immature response."

If he no longer wants to participate in the community, then deleting the repo was a good decision. It's not like the code is actually gone, other people have copies of it, and now that the original repo is gone nobody will mistakenly go to his repo and find it abandoned. It's basically the equivalent of boarding up the windows before you abandon a building.

Archiving the repo (which disables new commits, new issues, etc) would have served the same goal and not wasted the time of the larger community.

Here's an example from one of my own archived projects. Is there any doubt in your mind as to the state of this repository?

Inconveniencing countless others in a fit of pique is a pretty good definition of immature, petty behavior.
