I'm tossing this out unchecked but I believe that Jesus' and any of the accounts of others in the NT using harsh words were always directed at those who were contemplating murder, planning murder, or engaged in theft.
They weren't directed at those with whom doctrinal disagreements was the only issue.

Jesus rebuked his disciples (other than Judas) often. They weren't planning murder or theft.
Telling Peter "Get behind me, Satan" comes to mind!

Check out the exchange that Jesus has with the Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7:24-30. It is the only example I can find where Jesus is using harsh words to a common person.
I would argue that, other than the above mentioned, most of Jesus' harsh words were directed at those in power, like the Pharisees, which, to be fair to you, is pretty much the same as directing His words only at those who were contemplating murder or engaged in theft.

Yea do check that out...cause I think his harsh words were for false doctrines and traditions
