I have been exposed to an ex Hamble instructor on my first type rating. Thankfully I wasn't on the recieving end of the sarcastic comments. My sim partner was down for no further training. Thankfully a true instructor took over (Dave Royal) and took 15 mins to sort out a very daft mistake which the ex Hamble TRI had spent 8 hours watching without realising the prat was covering the brakes on a V1 cut. In that 8 hours my sim partner was subjected to comments on the fact that he was a self improver so it was to be expect, if he couldn't fly a crappy turboprop did he expect to fly a jet. Then the final none stressful, bound to get the student to improve "if you don't sort yourself on this next one I am reporting to the company that your training should be stopped." It doesn't work, 15 mins with Dave and problem sorted LPC passed. Thankfully we kept Dave for the rest of the course.
Not quite sure what this has to do with me. As a professional flying instructor you should be aware that the actions of one pilot or instructor does not define a company or organisation-strange how you understand that students are individuals and needed to be treated as such but cannot extend this to other pilots or instructors. If both of you were foolish enough to allow someone to talk to you in that manner its hardly my fault. CRM includes being able to manage people, whether they are forum bullies or type rating instructors
