I understand that you guys want him to leave and everything, but I think it’s best to just leave him be at this point.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve pretty much only seen him being himself lately, I don’t see a reason as to why encouraging him to leave is going to do anything.
Regardless if he barely takes any criticism or is barely taking any steps to change he seems to somewhat find some sort of improvement by himself.

He might mature and realize with time, or he still might take a while to understand. But encouraging him to leave although while understandable considering how much you’ve done for him seems to be ultimately unnecessary at this time and in general isn’t a nice thing to do to someone unless if they’ve done something terrible in every form.

And this drama with him is ancient. Drama in general on Stick Nodes is bad, and participating in it is even worse.
This is starting to get really tiring, and I wish most of the time that everyone would just forgive each other and give up the hatred.
