I've thought a bit on this since my last post in here, read some more perspectives from other members, and I've clarified my own view enough to say that the captain was out of line.
I'd have to agree with August and Jim on this one (and Platapus' post directly below). And given that she threw objects at other people, even if it was paper, she exhibited disrespect toward her subords. How can anyone respect that kind of behavior out of a superior?
