I called the floor over for this and the floor looked at me and said "you called me over for that?" then he made some dumb joke about seat three being hit by the cards" -- personally i wasn't looking for the player to get a penalty, but a stren warning would have been appropriate.

No, throwing cards in such a way that they go off the table should always get a penalty. Whenever a palyer throws the cards and hit someone they say (usually honestly) "I didn't mean to hit him" ro "I didn't mean to throw the cards on the floor" people get hit by cards when players throw them without considering where they might land.
