Ask HN: How to deal with an abusive co-worker?

I'm at my wit's end and am not sure what is the best way to proceed. I have been working at my current job for about 7 months. I am the front end developer for a chain of retail outlets in Denver. I work on our website, our customer facing kiosks, and our POS systems. There are only two other developers and one of them has become a nightmare and is making it impossible to work there. I have been verbally abused, belittled, blamed for things that weren't my fault, had my accomplishments diminished and taken credit for. The guy is well known for this kind of behavior. I'm not the only person that has had a problem with him but it's just excused as "the way he is." After yet another round of it I sent screenshots of our conversation to our boss and was told "that's just how we communicate around here. He told me to go fuck myself just last week." I'm afraid of losing my job if I report him. We just moved here and are still not quite on our financial feet after some personal disasters last year. How should i proceed? Just suck it up until i find a new job?
