I just can't see the logic of calling someone who is a nice bloke and trying hard but not good enough a ****ing wanker. It's totally illogical and pretty childish.
If he wasn't trying, then fair enough, but clearly was and just wasn't up to it. Comment on his job performance is fair game but...
Not sanctimonious at all. I agree he was rubbish, but I don't understand the personal insults like wanker or tosser. He wasn't a wanker at all, was he? He was a very nice bloke. It's baffling.
