I think that Curtis is probably a young kid who got frustrated at not knowing
how to set something up.  When you were 13 or so, you would likely have moments
like that also.

Saying "You're a dumbass." is a personal attack.  It is aimed at the person.

Saying "You're completely and absurdly wrong." is not.  It is aimed at the idea.

See the difference?
