And Jesus got angry once. I got angry many times. My bad.

Continual anger at people makes them shut down to you.

Actually God said it was OK to get angry..

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Ephesians 4:26

Even God got angry ...

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses... Exodus 4:14

And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts of the camp. Numbers 11:1

Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased Numbers 11:10

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Isaiah 1:4

Jesus said "blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth......blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God".

I don't remember anything about "blessed are they who blow a fuse".

Jesus faced down the angry crowd that was intent on stoning the woman caught in adultery and he healed a man and told Peter to return his sword to its sheath after Peter severed the man's ear.

Don't make the mistake of taking upon yourself God's righteous anger. That's His domain. Judgment is His. Justice belongs to Him to administer. "Playing God" is what makes us angry at others and it's not part of our job description. We have our own sins to account for and explain.
