I think Aragorn's comment was on the fact that Gimli were, as already mentioned, very close to get if not shot, then at least kicked far out of Lórien, and then he's provoking Haldir like that. Anybody would think him stupid.<BR>And I'm pretty sure Dimli didn't speak Khuzdul out of stress; a few seconds earlier Legolas and Haldir babbled (hate to use that word) along in Elvish, which he didn't understand anything of, and by using <B>his</B> language, he wanted to show them, that he could do exactly the same thing. Not smart in that situation, but Dwarves you know <BR>Anyways, my point is, Gimli is provoking, not nervous.
