Regardless of whether her behaviour was acceptable or not, this:
Egwene was the one who caused the Salidar camp to declare war on Elaida, and she was the one who besieged Tar Valon and the White Tower. To say that she had no part in the rebellion is simply false.
2. Egwene is not a hypocrite because she isn't truly part of the Salidar camp. She was not present during the breaking of the Tower and played absolutely no part in it. She did not organize a rebellion against Elaida and she was forced into her position under the penalty of stilling. She therefore has the right to berate the Salidar Hall.
Egwene was the one who caused the Salidar camp to declare war on Elaida, and she was the one who besieged Tar Valon and the White Tower. To say that she had no part in the rebellion is simply false.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

Was Egwene wrong to berate both Halls after the reunification?

She was right, as long as she never mentions it again

I didn't expect it, but it was absolutely the right thing for her to do.

If the berating sucked, I would have complained. But it was pretty good to hear/read. *NM*

Reasonable in terms of power politics, but still somewhat deceitful.

It was a political move. It was the right political move, but not "morally" right.

It was very clear where her sympathies lie. A lot of it was superficial.

She didn't mention/berate the 300+ AS who ignored this whole facade of a plotline.

Wait until they come back and she slams them for "ignoring the Tower in its hour of need." *NM*

It depends what she does next. It was really a tactical thing and politics can excuse the hypocrisy
