I know it's too late for this, and you're angry about the situation... please don't do this. Speaking as the person who's been on the other side of that table, please do not tell them to go fuck themselves. I had a candidate once who was very smart and accomplished, but exhibited signs that he was not a good fit for the team. We told him that we would not be inviting him back for the second round of interviews, and the next day my boss got an anonymous email telling him he was an old, fat prick and a douchebag who didn't appreciate the candidate's brilliance. The whole team breathed a sigh of relief that we dodged that bullet, and it reinforced our view that our instincts were right, the guy was not a good fit for our team. I still have the guy's resume in my desk, and I know if he applied for the position again (we are lucky to have been hiring a lot in the last three years) I would think twice about that candidate, despite his impressive qualifications. "This guy has threatened us in the past" is a perfectly good reason not to hire somebody.
I didn't literally tell them to fuck off. I explained in a couple professional sentences that their feedback didn't make sense coming from someone with a lot of experience in that role and wished them luck. I guess the catty part was also ending the email by quoting the directions from the test that contradicted their feedback. That was sort of the "fuck you" part but again done as professionally as it can be done
I was pretty drunk when I got the email so I responded in a really professional way telling them to go fuck themselves
