While I believe you should not talk negative about your past employer, I dont believe it holds true in every case. I would say, my employer loves to scream, it was his way of getting heard. I had never experienced anything like that in the work place and did not see it as professional. Another employee who had worked there 10 years felt the same way as I did.
I feel this gains empathy and lets future employers know you wont tolerate that and gains empathy from the interviewer.
You don't need to say anything about your employer or the other co-worker who tried to "stand up for you". Simply say that the position was great and that you really enjoyed the work, but the environment was not a comfortable one for you and you didn't want your feelings of not fitting with the office to affect your job performance. So, you opted to leave the company to concentrate on finding the job that was the proper fit.
Not being able to work with everybody is going to happen, but if you say you quit because you didn't like a particulat person or because somebody yelled at you, you are going to come across as whiney and someone who can't put their own differences aside for the betterment of the company.
Saying your employer loves to scream is, indeed, talking negatively about this person. It's destructive and will backfire. Nobody in his right mind loves to scream!
This type of childish and emotional comment will get you out of the running immediately and will certainly not produce empathy from a potential employer. You will be regarded as a possible troublemaker and a chronic complainer. No employer is willing to hire someone like that!

Here's the words I used when asked this question:
- I desire a challenge to take advantage of my problem solving capabilities.
- I desire better opportunities within (your industry).
- I am seeking a change in direction. To explore new opportunities.
- I wish to explore other opportunities that will best utilize my abilities.
Never ever bad mouth a previous employer. You can say that the environment changed and that there was a difference in philosophy where you desired to move in a different direction. That sounds more positive than negative.
Appreciate your honesty on this matter,though I even tried HR to resolve the problem and keep shut about it but it actually affects every single employee and had no choice but to leave them. It just happened that people around me was really concerned because they knew that I've always been a good employee!
