I had a similar situation with one our members last year. I got him off to the side after a game and told him almost the same thing you said about reading between the lines of the eval. I also asked him to begin tracking the number of flags he had on the home team and visitors. Now I know you can not look at one game and see a pattern - but over a season, there should be little difference.
He honestly never realized that he was actually favoring the home team. Now he is still young and has a great deal of potential. Thick skin is developed with years of being chewed on. I had him in my crew last week - I think that rear-end is a little thicker this year.
If he is a vet, it may be to late. You may never change him, but if someone doesn't talk to him I'll guarantee he will never change. What have you got to loose - you already have a bad official! Be constructive, it is not an easy conversation.
If it continues - send him packing. Your whole association's reputation is at stake.
