Even though he was retarded, he was the most charming of the wigger crew in my opinion (as in, everyone else sucks so badly that he looks okay in comparison). I can understand the sentiment.
My uninformed speculations, in order of most likely to least likely:
1. He needs to move for housing/family/relationship
2. He realized that being a "super chat reader" at 28 years old is a major red flag for every kind of relationship and it's not a forever job, so he decided to try and get his shit together
3. The tranny incident is his fault and he is being ousted in the most amicable way possible
4. Retarded drama that we aren't necessarily aware of yet
