Domestic violence analogies for computing....really gross. I wouldn't hire or work with 'Sam Bent'.

Completely agree, we can be edgy without being insensitive.

There's nothing "gross" about it. You are making a mountain out of a molehill, and honestly the kind of behavior you're displaying here would be absolutely miserable to deal with at any job. Nobody likes someone who complains about trivial non-issues like this.
