Oh Russel's Celestial Teapot, what a special snowflake we have here.

Quite aside from the public ridicule, we have been belittled by agents personally, by phone (“Tell me about that other book you mentioned in your query. Keep in mind that I don’t want to hear your life story”)

I can't even how imagine someone asking for brevity in a pitch gets interpreted as belittlement, but this woman's probably cut by the implication that the agent wouldn't be interested in her autobiography.

I have to say though, my favourite quote?
Occasionally, especially in groups, these snakes slither off their horses and coil up together in the grass, pour themselves a scotch, and forget to even attempt to conceal their contempt for writers.

Funny thing is that quote is actually kind of funny, but it's still so drenched in BAWWWWWW that even the best imagery she's created is un-salvageable.
