The actor who played Garak is on record saying that he played the character as bi, with a crush on Bashir.

Absolutely.
Despite seeing both the DS9 and Seinfeld episodes dozens of times, it wasn't til now that I realized it was the same actress.
The OP is a prompt as to the nature of violence.
I'm the one defining violence here.
Ugh, Vulcans!
That's just a rhetorical device. I'm not suggesting that word definitions are prescriptive.
Violence, by definition, is an unjustified use of force. If a use of force is justified then it isn't violence.
For example, suppose you're walking across a bridge and you see someone about to jump to their death. So you run over, pull them back from the brink, knock them down, and sit on them. Have you committed an act of violence? I would say not.
On the other hand, suppose the person is just standing on a street corner waiting for the light to change. If you run over, pull them back from the curb, knock them down, and sit on them, that would in fact be an act of violence.
Be honest, would you prefer an android slave that was programmed by a paragon of virtue, or one that was programmed by that unprincipled, evil-minded, lecherous kulak Harry Mudd?
"No offense, Lieutenant. You're different, of course."
I thought the joke was about old binaries.
