Yeah sometimes it's weird that when you're alone with someone it feels harder to call them out - even if it seems a private word should be preferable - just because you know there'll probably be a bunch of silent tension and uncomfortable eye contact. When you're in a group even if they all inexplicably turn around and back the other person at least there's more dialogue and the tension is shared between more people.
Sad that you would get a target on your head; do you mean from other people in the office or that your HR dept would mark you as an agitator?

Happened yesterday when returning from an interview (we both work for a large print and online media company) when he made the comments. I don't particularly like the guy, but now his true colours have been shown, I'll avoid all bar professional communication.
As for the HR route, it will be a his word against mine situation, and moved to the too hard basket with the likely outcome counseling, and a target on my head.
Just really disappointed I didn't call him on it at the time, and it's been gnawing at me since.
