"Absolute power corrupts absolutely", that's how I would describe these people.
All roles are useful depending on the situation and if played well, I can see most of these things as part of a strategy, minus the bossy and screaming part. I don't see a Mayor often enough, but this happens with plenty of other roles where these people think they're super important and they're always right (I've once seen a GF and even a Psychic that behaved like this). Sometimes I could see this as a troll, or maybe a regular player getting into character just for the fun of it (like the Pirate, YAAARRRGGHH) but got taken in the wrong way (remember, it's just a game).
Based on what you've described, those people are probably just as insufferable with whatever role they have. If there's hate speech/harassment or gamethrowing involved, just report it, besides that, I'm not really sure if there's anything that can be done. There are always plenty of jerks in any game.
*Town puts the pirate on trial for killing a townie*
YAAAAARRRRRGGGHH, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I PLUNDERED A TOWNIE ?!?!
*Town lynches the pirate*
Lesson: Don't get mad at the pirate, leave them be or tell them who to plunder and he'll oblige. (most of the time)
