Much like regulating your emotions with meditation practice, being quick to anger doesn't make you a good or bad person imo, just more impulsive seeming in this case. I would feel bad projecting my totally unregulated emotion on people I care about, but I also view my thoughtful regulation as part of what makes me who I am. Incidentally, I'd generally rather stay quiet than put out unneeded negative energy.
I've found I quite often have thoughts that spring to mind unbidden - I think that's just how our brains work. Sometimes they make me laugh inside and others are things that I would hate to broadcast. Being able to soundly reject the worst of my base impulses before subjecting them to the rest of the world is kind of important. I wouldn't want to give that up, but at the same time just being a hot head doesn't make one a bad person.
