Tell him you're going to start roleplaying a guy who's a complete arse and use it as an excuse to blow him up and pod him at the first opportunity.
Then tell him you feel bad, that you're no longer going to roleplay and that you think it would be best if you went your separate ways in game.

Heh, my favourite is when noobs are carebears say they are going to get their friends in BoB on to me. That's just hysterical. They can never understand why I am completely underwhelmed everytime I hear it.

Awhile ago when I used to play the game with my brother (he has since left the game) he introduced one of his friends to the game. My brother attempted to advise him in how to progress and obtain teh goals he was strifing but disregarded most of it.
It came to the situation where he stopped helping him with questions and at which point my bro did answer his questions he was met by comments along the lines of "you dont know anythin, you're a noob".
So we decided we wanted to stretch our wings and go for a wander one day, it so hapened that we ended up in his system with a group of about ships and ganked him right in the middle of his corp's mining op.
Ah I miss the days of torps fitted to cruisers. Anyway, he then left the game a couple months after me and my bro ceased all in-game affiliations with him. Ok it may sound abit harsh but it was damn funny. 
Edit: my advice would be to pop him and show him what an actual pvp ship can do when someone with abit of skill and abit of know how is behind the controls.
Do not fear the reaper, for death is the only certainty in life.

good advice above, just kill him.
though you gotta weigh up the concequences.. if you fly with him doing something like that wud prob destroy your in game relationship. Make sure you know what you want to achive in eve, and whether or not it onvolves him in the game. At the end of the day if you can go down the pub with him and have a pint does it really mattter? it's only a game to an extent huh.

He is in fact giving them what they want.
Hell yeah, I would love to find this guy in low sec space... Sounds like fun!
Is he your real life friend? If not, I'd just stop responding to his gang requests lol.
Good post by the way... Very entertaining.

Time for a friendly punch in the Jimmy to straighten him out.

Wow, just break up any in-game affiliation with him. No need for it to affect your real life, but i wouldn't want to be associated with him in game. I mean i don't know anything about your corp but if I found out one of 4 Ring's members was a smacktalker I'd give him an oral warning, then if it contintinued i would get a group chat with my CEO and some of our other senior members to see if we needed to kick him.

Looks like this guy is transferring his desire to have "stuff" to this game. IMO, I think he isn't playing to play, but to "have" stuff through his avatar.
If I were you, I would mention casually that you took up some weird new fringe business, like manufacturing contraband items and selling them door to door in the outer fringes of EVE, or ice mining. Then you could always mention that you're not anywhere near him and it's not worthwhile to drop by. If he wants to follow, lead him into a couple of ambushes in lo sec and I'm sure he'll lose his taste for following you around.
RL? I'm sure he's a cool guy, but he just doesn't get it. Be rl buds, but ditch him in EVE and don't give him the chance to really annoy you, and it'll all be alright, I'm sure.

I think many of us have friends like this...
a friend of mine does the same thing, so another friend and I trained up alts, made a new corp to put them in, and am waiting for him to log back in so we can 'dec him and repeatedly pod him until he either asks for advice or quits Eve. His willful incompetence as a player has annoyed me to the point that my carebear instincts have been utterly suspended. The pity is, he's playing something else for a while 
The upside is I've been using my alt as a (somewhat pathetic) pirate, so not all is lost. Never thought I'd do that... or like as much as I do

I'm sorry, I could have sworn you just told them to stop patching the test server. Perhaps you could suggest another method of testing patches?

breaking news!
my friend got kicked from the corp i am in . He was caught making "unacceptable" chat in local. My CEO was notified and removed him. He is going to quit eve or so he claims as he lost all his assets again. Unfortunatly i do not think he learned anything he will most likely be back in a week or so to restart.

Hmm. Sounds like me...
2004 char with 6M SP. :P
I'm a noob too, ask a lot of noobish questions, (mildly) annoy my corpmates, lose ships noobstyle etc.
But what matters: I'm having fun.
However I Do not smack.
But us n00bs have a function in every game. We are those that everyone looks down on, especially those 1 step up the ladder, the failures.
We make those that are not on the top realize they could be a lot worse off. And last but not least, we keep the economy healthy by having to buy new ships and mods atleast every 2 weeks.
All for the price of a bit of annoyance. Not a bad deal eh?
There's little a sledgehammer can't fix.
If you can't fix it, you need a bigger sledgehammer.
If it's unfixable, blame CCP. :p

People have different motivations for playing: if he enjoys shiny stuff without caring for the competitive element or self-improvement facet, then that playstyle is his prerogative.
However, if he fails to understand why he loses ships and makes fallacious attributions and engages in smacktalk that reflects badly on you and others he's associated with, then that's of course a different matter.
I would suggest that you tell him the way you see things: that your playstyles are different and can be, but that you don't condone smack, that his losses are a result of his choices and if he wishes to improve, he should analyse his own mistakes critically and have the humility to listen to advise and that if your playstyles still are incompatible, you should play the game separately which has nothing to do with your RL relationship.
Amusing read, anyway.
