I agree. In Hurricane Fluttershy, although Spike was unintentionally saying rude things, there was no need to hit him. There could have been other ways to shut him up that looked less mean. Take Boast Busters for example. Twilight uses her magic to shut Spike's mouth whenever he treid to boast about Twilight to Trixie. Hitting him on the head was not called for.

In Sweet and Elite, its very possible there were reasons why Spike wasn't there but no explanations were revealed so far so you can't blame people will think he wasn't invited. If it was any other occasion, I would say Spike didn't want to go even if he was invited... But it was Twilight's bday so its hard to believe he didn't want to go even just to show Twilight he cares about the day of her birth.
