Much prefer that accounts be disabled or locked rather than wholesale deleted.

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I agree with lock/disable.
It just makes more sense

The deleting of the account was not intentional. I went to the screen with the original idea of deleting the account, even marked the checkbox.. But then I saw the account active select, and was like, wait I will just disable it.. But alas, I didn't think about the fact I had enabled the delete button. and boom. The account was gone.
Accounts should be closed not deleted. It was a momentary lapse on my part.

No foul. If the guy was being a jerk about it especially. If he wants to come back, I'd expect an apology from him.

I've found on forums Ive been in charge of that it is better to keep the account so that you can (1) can remember the offender and (2) keep the ip address for future reference.
