Honest feedback would be appreciated.
I host 2 game nights at my place, 5-6 people in each group with a couple of folks in both. The games have been going on for over half a year each.
The morning after our last session I realized someone had emptied my prescription. My bedroom is beside the bathroom, and they went through my bedside table. I thought some cash had disappeared previously but wasn’t 100% sure so didn’t say anything. I just made double sure things were tucked away or on my person from then on.
I announced to both groups I was no longer hosting and why, and said I was taking a break from playing. Reactions were mixed, some supportive, some silence, one accusation of it’s my fault for leaving things lying around or that my being selfish killed the game.
Many feelings at play here, and I’m too close to it right now. Did I overreact with closing my door and leaving?

Hello everyone, I have been a beginner DM for DnD for almost a year now and I recently encountered a problem I had never faced before.
To summarize the situation for you, my players were accidentally teleported to the Feywild. In order to escape, they all decided to seek out an archfey who might be willing to help them. So far, no problem. They eventually managed to secure an audience with one of them. Before meeting the archfey in question, one of her sprite servants explained to the players that they must choose their words carefully and be respectful towards her because she is very sensitive. The idea I had was that depending on what the PCs said and how they addressed her, the archfey would be more or less compliant (as with most NPCs, you might say, but for her they really needed to choose their words VERY carefully to persuade her).
This is where my problem starts. One of my players plays a human rogue who has a particularly irritating behavior, both towards NPCs and even PCs (incidentally, the other characters this player has played also behave similarly, but that's another issue). He steals from, attacks, torments, and insults everyone he encounters, even the kindest NPCs, and with the villains, it's even worse. Many PCs are provocative towards their enemies, but he continues to be very disrespectful even when it could mean life or death (which is not particularly realistic, but until now, I have always let it slide because, in the end, he plays his character as he sees fit).
Of course, when it was this player's turn to address the archfey, he began to mock her and insult her gratuitously (to the horrified and disapproving looks of the rest of the table). I then asked him if he was sure he wanted to say that, making it clear that this time there would be very, very serious consequences for his character given what was about to happen. He smiled and said that she couldn't do anything to him and that he would get out of it as he always had. Except this time, it wasn't just simple bandits he had insulted; it was an archfey!
What had to happen, happened: the archfey disintegrated him, turning him into confetti, killing him instantly. The player immediately reacted by saying it was unfair and that I had a player-versus-DM mentality and that I had no right to kill his character instantly like that. I then explained that I had warned him a few moments earlier that if he did that, there would be extremely serious consequences for his character, but he decided to proceed anyway.
The other players are on my side; they think it was the most logical response to the situation and that the behavior of this player's character had to catch up with him sooner or later. However, I wonder if I did the right thing. Does an instant death like this seem too arbitrary to you? Should I allow his character to come back in some way? Or was it the right thing to do?
