How can you politically expressed hate for classmates/colleagues?

So I'm a PhD student in Bio and one of my classes is presentations based on recent or exciting findings. Everyone is on their second round and there are some people who just don't get it. Two cried today. My evaluation is a big part of their grade. A lot of people are taking it easy on them since the prof reamed them out, but I want to be honest and tell them how fucking sick I am of their bullshit. The prof will read this and I don't want it to negatively reflect on me. How do you find the correct balance of hate and PC for future reference?

You do not appear to be qualified for whatever position you hold.

Hate should never be a part of an evaluation. Stick to the facts, and whether they were able to perform as expected. Anything further will definitely reflect very poorly on you.

Good point. But the ineptitude elicits hate. So I'm trying to be as polite with my disgust as I can be.

And, I will add, should reflect very poorly on you, OP.

Why did they cry? Because they couldn't handle the work load?

They cried because they just crashed and burned on the presentation. One thought a chemical used to elicit a response was the protein. The professor basically informed her that she did a terrible job. And so she cried and didn't even finish. That in itself to me is unacceptable.

O.K. Now, I think you may have a reason to be disappointed. These are just young freshman I'm hoping.

You would hope so, but they are first year PhD students. We are taking a lot of the same core classes and I'm just upset that they aren't taking it seriously. Today they get a grade they don't deserve, but what about later when we are peers competing for scholarships, grants, and awards. Our GPA's should reflect our dedication and I just can't bring myself to let it go.
