here's a good reason I say to keep him : it is petty by normally villainy but PROVES Patrick knows what he's doing is bad.. so makes him a Villainous Jerk (remember a VJ is a minor villain by nature, so naturally the heinous standard is much smaller).. anyway:

anyone remember that famous episode where Patrick basically destroyed Squidward's VIP ticket, then when Spongebob produced another (being the kind-hearted (if stupid) character he is) Patrick outright destroyed that as well.. then just walked off with NO remorse as Squidward's dreams basically shattered?

there was also the time he tried to kill Bikini Bottom over some Valentine Day fiasco.. again, Patrick fits a lot of the traits of a sociopath : he's just "forgiven" alot due to being a cartoon, as the show makes the characters more openly disturbing (ala Ren and Stimpy) he starts to lose that cartoon immunity, in my view.
