Boiler,
I'm not saying getting wacked in the head is a positive learning experience, but seriously, the airline business has become kitten gentle. If some spoiled little brat is going to crap a toaster because somebody yells at him or says a 4 letter word, then I'd just as soon not have that person in my right seat.
But you're right, their is a line and getting wacked in the head crossed that line (more than once in my case!)
