> The legal system has become increasingly intolerant of abusive behavior in the workplace.
This is certainly one approach to take, but it will only serve to damage an employer who supports many families by providing jobs. If you've already talked to your HR department, why not take the guy aside and calmly try (just try) to appeal to his sense of logic: * If you were the HR chief who was responsible for maintaining a non-threatening work environment, how would you handle you? I mean really -- and think practically for a moment; this is not the Supreme Court. * If you offered to our employees tickets to an event where you were preaching this stuff on stage, how many seats would you fill? * Do you think saying this stuff is sustainable over time in this workplace? Any workplace? * Do you ever put yourself in the shoes of someone who might be offended by what you're saying, regardless of the fact that you think what you're saying is true? * If you still think it's okay to talk like this, why don't you take a recording of yourself down to the HR department and ask them what they think? There's a chance you can reach him and turn his heart if you appeal to him in such a way that he is challenged to solve his own problem, but if you confront and accuse him, he'll most likely put up a barrier, and he may even become violent. Also, your HR department might appear to be doing nothing, but they might be quietly documenting his case for action. This takes time and must be handled discreetly, hence the apparent silence from them. Best of luck, my friend.
