No?

Do your best to remain aware that , along with the unconscionable arrogant 
and bullying approach, there is significant merit in much of what he says.

Try to take the good and ignore the provocative bullying and you'll get some 
value for money.
Rise to the bait and you'll end up in a subtle flame war - and as he's more 
talented than most at subtle goading while maintaining some pretense of 
reasonableness, you may end up looking like the villain, as has happened on 
various occasions before.

He's highly experienced, highly competent, useful to make use of.
But " ... when he's bad he's horrid."
