You can tell people that you're frustrated with them, or even pissed off at them, without being insulting, passive-aggressive, or calling them incompetent. Even saying something like "It really pisses me off when you do stuff like that, I wish you would stop it." isn't against the social contract. There really is a difference between criticism and insult. IMO those two messages, in the contest they were given, is clearly intended to be insulting/belittling toward the player.
There's definitely a kinder way to say it. Saying that he's terrible at the game might have crossed the line. Still, it seems like something that could be dealt with at the realm level.
