You've got the basic events right, but not the order
thereof.
Here's how it went (in bare-bones form):
Curtis paid me the (very) backhanded compliment
I made it clear I didn't take it as a compliment.
Curtis said I was giving him too much credit for
being (a) clever and (b) an asshole. He said he'd
have more to say the next day.
In response, I suggested that he really didn't want
to get me started.
The next day, Curtis (ignoring my advice) wanted to
know why I hadn't taken his post as complimentary.
I told him.
Curtis (ignoring what I told him) asked again why
I hadn't taken his post as complimentary.
I asked him to explain what the compliment was.
Curtis decided I had been right that he didn't want
to get me started, and realized he didn't want to
attempt to answer my question. So he backed out of
the discussion.
