I've been following your story and don't think you are being paranoid about the bullying and petty antics by the others in the office. I believe you.
For some reason this guy doesn't see what's going on. Best not to pressure him. You told him the way it is and he may one day begin to see things as they really are.
Like you, I'm sensitive to this sort of thing but many aren't and don't even know what we're talking about. And when I get emotional about something they seem almost amused. I mean, I can tell they aren't even listening anymore. (Like the VanCom lady, "La,La,La,La" with a finger in each ear). MadTv if you haven't seen her.
I guess I'm trying to say that even if he's completely wrong at first, give him a chance - just let him be wrong, blind, or indifferent while at the same time, be gently assertive and stick to the truth.
I think when people are pressured to agree with something right away, they just dig in their heels even more. It may take him awhile to get it.
I believe you.
