Another issue is that if you allow this level of disrespect to go on, will you be able to maintain discipline in future? Would you allow one of your subordinates to do that to you and keep his job? I wouldn't take it. Even if I did, the question would be "Where will it end". Maybe next time it will be a hot cup of coffee?

You can't draw a rational analogy between the behavior of adults and children. Were you ever a child? Did you go to school? With other kids? I did -- in Chicago. Freshman year in HS, a kid blew up a teacher's car in the parking lot. Don't talk to me about rubber bands...
