Pilot scrap with dispatcher at LGW

Haven't seen this on any of the forums yet, thought R&N was the best place.

I know its from the Daily Mail (sorry all) :

Aegean Airlines flight from Gatwick cancelled after pilot 'assaulted ground staff' | Daily Mail Online

As a one time dispatcher i can understand if things can get occasionally heated. Most flight crew are great, but occasionally some treated us like something on their shoe, when our goal is simply to get the flight away on time, and safely.

Would appreciate any thoughts from FD on dispatchers in general. Personally, i got on with most, but took no bull from anyone, they never paid me nearly enough for that gig.
