You stated multiple times that you wanted to shoot him because he used the excuse that "it's just a game". That's a thin distinction at best.
You also use a separate account for your normal posting than your admin account, which feels needlessly sneaky.
Look, taking down the post was right call, and removing him from the mod position for arguing about it too. But the rest of this?
Telling someone that you want to injure them, then going on a multiple paragraph rant that is more about dunking on someone and venting than actually trying to inform isn't a good look for an admin.
I can't read their full responses that you deleted, but what you quoted from them reads like the kind of scared "stop yelling at me I don't understand what I did wrong please don't hit me" responses I gave to my mother while she was busy giving me reasons for therapy.
Normal users can get away with this sort of aggressive behavior because they don't have a position of power, but you do. You are inherently setting the example of what you want from your users and it's not a good look from the outside.
Now let's see if this criticism gets me banned too... hope not.
