At that point, SA essentially said, "fine, if you don't like me, I'll leave."

I don't think that that is accurate at all. SA had posted similar links previously, and said very little about the "police state", was very obviously tongue in cheek about it. Now I don't know what warnings he had had previously, but the move to Trollheim, and the insulting comments afterward, showed a high level of very personal insult.
I don't know if I am a regular here or not, but I would have left over it. I debated leaving after the kitten filtering. I laugh about the kitten references now, but the fact that someone gets upset over one of the many stupid topics discussed here is no need for an over-reactive response. Bill and LC had previously done a very nice job of saying nicely "Move on boys" when we dwelled to long. Now, I have no idea what response will be had.
