It's your last chance, honey, better (CALL YOUR MOTHER)

Now, if I had my way
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Buried beneath
(With the possibility of how things could be)

Don't let me find you hiding under the covers.
It's your last chance, honey,
Better (Call your mother!).
All hope is lost down in the gutter

Ever get the feeling that no matter what someone says or how far you offer to

That was an awesome thing to do. Rather than just saying, "You suck!" and dumping him, you gave him a chance to grow. Who knows if he'll take it, or if he's capable of it, but it's worth a try.

I probably would have dumped him as a group long ago. If someone is clearly not interested in playing DnD and only makes minimum responses during the game (and is antagonistic), I would have talked to the rest of the group about dumping him. Maybe have a "do you want to play" session as a last chance (maybe that's what this is?). But I don't know if you (the group) were friends beforehand or whatever.
(As a group, my group have dropped players who were perfectly friendly but just didn't "fit" well. Not everyone wants the same things from a DnD group and there are many ways to play.)

It seems like he was trying to make friends through the group and if that's the case (ie, no previous friendship), I'd have a really short leash. In reality, sometimes people just don't gel, so if he doesn't get along with the group, then I don't think it's worthwhile to drag it out. But those are just my thoughts. (I have a narrow group of friends if it wasn't clear.)

So, the group hat I play with have all been friends for 3-4 years. Draco met them all when he was in college. I have known Draco for 12 years, and when they had an opening he talked to them and they were all game for me to give it a go and see if I wanted to come on board permanently. Sketch had been in the D&D group for a year when I joined, and knew them for about a year beyond that. The guys are all non-confrontational by nature. They just want to go back to playing, and figure if you don't want to be there you won't show up. They don't understand that some people either don't know how to bow out, or will stay out of spite. Sketch, in my opinion, was about 50/50 between both of those reasons. They didn't understand that they needed to talk to him back when this all started in early spring, and it just kept building all summer. Sketch was even making new characters that were literally designed to be lazy, argue with everyone, kill non-party members on sight, and do nothing but combat. Like, a good 40% of our quests we at least try
