Am I crazy, or does Alec Baldwin's angry phone message to his daughter not sound as shocking or abusive as everyone's making it out to be?

I mean, okay, it's kinda scary, it's bad, I wouldn't want to hear anyone that I loved talk to me like that, but... man, my family uses worse language than that when someone forgets to tighten the cap on the soda. He just sounded angry, like any fed-up parent whose kid has caused him intense frustration. It sounded like a pretty much typical parent-angry-at-bratty-preteen-rant to me. (Perhaps I heard a lot more outraged, screaming threats growing up than most people? But somehow I don't think so.)

I dunno the whole story, maybe he has a history of abuse towards them or something, but taken out of context, I'm not too impressed. And taken out of context, Kim Basinger comes off as a total bitch, to me, for leaking that message to the press.
