railer

One who berates

A railer is someone who rails—who complains bitterly or protests vehemently.

The word is old-fashioned and rarely encountered outside religious or legal texts: The railers and scoffers shall be cast out.

When it does appear, it suggests sustained, harsh criticism rather than a single outburst.
