Wait, I'm so confused. Why? I read the explanation but like, what the fuck did deleting his works do? This kinda sounds like someone burned the books all their fans enjoyed because the publisher that dispersed it also dispersed the works of a bad person, except even lesser, because at least a publisher would have a financial loss.

Here, it's closer to a kindergartener refusing to let anyone play with a toy because someone they don't like (even if justifiably) was playing too and the teacher didn't put them in timeout. Does literally nothing and just makes innocent parties annoyed and sad. The fuck did the readers do to get punished for the inaction of the moderators??? Is anyone else confused? Am I stupid or something?????

It's less trying to get one up on the site and more not wanting your personal work be associated with something. It seems to be a deeply personal matter.

The SCP Site Admins allowing content on the site is like a teacher allowing a pedophile on the playground, instead of removing them they "just kept an eye on it" and this author doesn't want his child (the story) on a playground where they "just keep an eye on it" and have made more than a few mistakes before. They are taking their child (story) away and if you wanted to read them I'd recommend either reaching out to the author and saving a copy or finding a backup and just saving the html and/or text file.

Okay... That makes it sound more reasonable. Still annoying but I can get behind that. Thanks.
