She was presenting a bad image for FIRST. The thread was to show that nothing had been done on FIRST's part to solve the problem - and to draw awareness to something before it becomes common place.

The thing is that if this volunteer sensed that they were causing a stir or was unhappy with the repetition they should have spoken to their supervisor.
Their supervisor should have spoken to them when you complained.
Personally I don't really think it should be your expectation that someone should be disciplined in way that you can see.
Think of the possible humiliation you send to them? Did you like when they troubled you? Do that over and over and wait till someone explodes. It will happen.
For all we know, the volunteer did feel openly humiliated and their behavior escalated as a result of you and others saying something.
I agree there is a responsibility of the supervision to stop the situation. If a volunteer is getting into trouble remove the barrier they are enforcing or remove them...but removing them should be the very last option.
