“I was just frustrated,” he said. “I’ve got a strange website coming up, and I don’t know who caused it.” Taylor said that he also did not regret threatening Hughes with FBI action, since he believes that was what prompted Hughes to start treating him seriously.

Helpful translation:
"I don't regret being an asshole; that's what prompted an innocent person who was helpful and kind in spite of my unwarranted aggression to do what I wanted."

Gads, but I wish I could do something to express my contempt.

My translation agrees with yours.

Thirded. This is a person whose first response to anything he doesn't understand is to become threatening and abusive; I sure hope he doesn't have any kids.
