^ I totally agree with you--Even though Bender did aggravate Vernon, that does NOT give Vernon license to go as far to lock Bender in a closet.

I mean, check out this scenario:

One person insults another person; the insulted person loses it, and beats up the offender.

Who gets in trouble with the law? The person who got physically violent.

Moreover, Vernon only feeds Bender's behavior, by being aggressive back (even though Vernon was upset, the more "challenged" Bender feels, the more Bender is aggressive back.

And as for not sinking to Bender's level, right--It only turns into a game (for Bender) of who-can-talk-the-harshest, if Vernon is aggressive back.

Bender seems to only be trying to get a rise of others--So if I were Vernon [or the others], I would NOT get into the back-forth harsh-talk game.

Anyways, you're right--Getting as aggressive as Bender makes Vernon no better than the latter.
