At some point, in my eyes, it's actually ok, to just walk away, without saying a word. You've already expressed this to him. No need to keep repeating the obvious. Or, if you don't need to walk away, just not say anything. Whether, he'll actually get the message is one thing, doesn't really matter, so long as it's not escalating your own emotions, which do matter.

What will help is what I had last posted. I will also say other things like: "I don't like this yelling." Then walk away. Just say things that are discomforting that he is causing; softly though. Not firm!
