Should you throw somebody down the stairs if they call you Fredo?

[Gandalf]

how dumb is fredo? first he's in the basement away from his family. then he doesn't like what he does for a living. then he's caught outside with his kids & wife. then he loves what he does. he wasn't following the fearporn advise he was pitching for you

I am not up to date on Fredo. What is all this TIC?
