In my experience, some of the actions of these higher ups which may be deemed as corrupt or unlawful are usually in the taste of having fun and are rarely, if ever, in poor taste. However, I think that there are plenty of lower-downs which may view the behavior acceptable and take things too far to the point where the hurt feelings counter goes up. Captains should set an example along with all other higher-ups. I think that the mindset that captains are immune is due to a lack of transparency when it comes to what actions were taken. How it is you want to address the transparency is up to the Owners and we, as a community, have no entitlement to that information. But, maybe for the sake of alleviating the frustrations of the community regarding this issue, such discipline is disclosed.
