Thanks for sharing this! I actually think it's the same take, as Buddhism teaches that there are skillful and unskillful ways to relate to all things that arise, with anger being one of the five main categories (kleshas) [1][2]. It's never to attempt to block those emotions, but to let them arise, look at them directly, and understand how to relate with them skillfully. One of the teachings is that all things come from love, but it's just that it's often filtered through our ignorance which causes us to act unskillfully.
A Tibetan teacher liked to say that westerners think that Buddhism is all calm and peaceful, and that compassion is soft and gentle, but when we're talking about waking up to the true nature of reality a slap in the face could be an act of compassion. It's just that most of us aren't awake enough to judge when a slap is compassionate, so we should probably not do that at the beginning of the path!

The excellent Youtube Channel "Religion for Breakfast" touched on this subject toward the end of his "Buddhism Has a Lot of Hells" video[1], where he explained that it's a case of orientalism (in the 'Edward Saïd' sense). In this case, since Buddhism was mostly imported in the west by hippy-style counter-culture movements, and since it was presented as an alternative to judeo-christian values, there was a tendency to omit things (like the concept of hell and damnation) that wasn't deemed foreign (to western culture) enough.
If one is interested in the history of religion, then I heartily recommend both "Religion for Breakfast" and "Let's talk Religion" Youtube Channels, they are truly amazing both in breadth and in quality.
The article says: "Getting angry [...] is damaging to our hearts, brains and gastrointestinal systems [...] it’s a normal emotion that everyone feels [...] But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems."
Like it says on Wikipedia, by the Buddhist teaching, they are "poisons", and this also means that it is "poison".
I agree with what you say, there are skillful and unskillful ways to relate to all things that arise.
