When a candidate angrily scolds a recruiter

You be the judge. A candidate forwarded me this email, that she received from a recruitment agency, where she was interviewed recently. 

What do you think? Is this a fair complaint? Does she have a point? Who is the recruiter?

She is well aware of my frank and candid opinion of those third-party and in-house recruiters who still to this day have an air of arrogance in the way they treat applicants and candidates.

"I have not heard from you for a few weeks since the last time we talked. I am wondering what the status of my candidacy is. I assume that you are either super busy or my candidacy is not making it to the next step." Read the rest of the email…

You tell me if this comes down to being lazy, ignorant, arrogant, or an attitude problem.
