I could ask to back it up, but I understand that indeed a majority isn't acting like him.

Much money?
Don't worry, I still can afford an internet account and less than 1% is used for Nationstates.
Resources?
You don't understand it. We, the users are the resources. We deliver the content and interact with each other. You, you are just a supplier of a framework.
Standards?
Ha!
Like 'we are PG13 but allow fucks and shits in almost every posting?'
Or by allowing that people may create postings about the great Mussolini and create a justification for fascism at the same time?
Maybe he deserved the death penalty, but instead of reacting normative, you could have asked, before he went berserk, in private: 'why are you doing this?'.
Maybe he lost his job, wife or child. Maybe he's diagnosed with Mexican flu. Maybe he had his first homosexual contact and as a conservative is still confused. I don't know. What I want to say maybe there are external causes.
And if it is Nationstates related, maybe he's mad because Nationstates is becoming more a kind of YouTube without the videos: Tons of posters, but not much to say. And the mods aren't doing a lot, because they count the quantity of users and postings. Not the quality.
I don't know what his reason was, but you could have asked.
But indeed it's your playground. You can do with it what you like. I only see what I see: the regulars are fading out.
