I can halfway agree with you, in a way--I sympathize with people, who say, "Bender was being a, so Vernon had to set him straight". However, the way Vernon reacted made him no better than Bender, as Vernon did not need to lock him in the closet, and throw a punch at him--He could have simply given extra detention or anything else (not physical). Also, what Vernon did not know was that even though Bender was doing a lot of the provoking, Vernon was also provoking Bender back, whether the former knew it or not, by acting hostile.

As Gandhi says, "an eye for an eye makes the world go blind".
