Either the Rebels were wrong to oppose Elaida, in which case Egwene should have abdicated her rebel throne and taken the punisment/demotion to novice, or they were right, in which case why should they be chastised by the very person that kept them from slinking back to Elaida?
It was completely a political move. She did it as a way to strengthen her political control. I'm not saying it wasn't a smart move on her part, but she's lucky they all have a guilty conscience, because that seems like a good way to have a spitefull Hall take her to task.
But it is the best way to have the two factions integrate.
I'm not an Egwene hater either. She's a good person, who truly thinks that the White Tower under her leadership is the best thing for Tarmon Gaidon. I don't think she's gaining power simply to have power, but to direct it against evil.

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 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*

They probably had more important matters than the privileges of a tiny group of powerful women.

What part of "keeping an eye on" suggests action or interference?

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