Instead of wasting so much energy either trying to win him over or cast him to the lions, I suggest you simply deal with him on a professional level. Only deal with him when your duties mandate it, and make the exchange sterile.

Some people are eccentric and will never join the team. There is more to the story in the relationship between the problem and the boss. If you felt like exerting the energy, it may be worth your time to find out.

Good luck Supe.......Where's your cape in the photo?
