First of all, I find it hard to imagine that we, who only get information about your situation from you, would be able to have an insight into the situation that you didn't have.

Second, it definitely seems to me like there's some part of the puzzle that you haven't figured out. If I were to hazard a guess, it's one of the following

1. The player is bored with the game so he's trying to destroy it.

2. The player is upset over how other people are playing the game, so he's passive aggressively trying to demonstrate how they're being asshats (in his view) by acting in the same ass-hattish ways himself.

3. The player is mad at the other people at the table for one thing or another and is taking it out on them in-game.
