He did stand up for his values. He went to the guy, and said that jokes like that are a problem. When the problem wasn't resolved he quit.

Are you saying that because he wasn't an asshole back, that it was drama?

The drama is the blog post, the length, the minute details of everything, like if it was so big, so important. It's just a guy who said a stupid joke. If you feel so strongly, confront him for real, not with a bland "it's a problem" and then write a 5000 words blog post about it. Go tell him he's a piece of shit, something the guy could actually use to adjust his behavior. My 2 cents.

Telling someone that something is a problem is confronting them for real.

Going to tell someone that they are a "piece of shit" is not acceptable behavior.
