By coincidence I was circling overhead at the time for the purposes of monitoring ATC and caught the end of this.
During the period I was watching there was a fair amount of noobness from KSFO_TW; incorrect procedures, bad language, frustration, confusion over active runways and anger towards pilots didn't want to play the ATC game.
When KSFO joined he initially asked permission to control a few aircraft and after a while just took over. I'm remaining impartial on the rights or wrongs of this.
KSFO_GN: you were trying and doing a better job and no bad language.
Anyone involved in ATC should read and use
http://wiki.flightgear.org/ATC_phraseology,
http://wiki.flightgear.org/ATC_Tutorial and it helps if controllers have trained themselves (e.g.
http://www.vatusa.net/training/tiki-index.php)
Finally I don't think there is an excuse for language and attitude from KSFO_TW(unknown identity) in my screenshot; I'm sure there was a lot of anger and frustration at this point but even so that's no excuse for it.
