Its OK to be frustrated, of course, people tend to be frustrated by things they don't understand (as a teacher, I know this particularly well and am reminded of it every day), but what makes people in general seem a bit silly is when they try and convince people of their argument by insulting them. I usually find that when I am trying to convince someone that my opinion is correct, it is best not to attack them.
It does seem a bit akin to saying, "You're stupid, because I said so".
