Oh sure. It's not the presence of emotions but rather their intensity. Which is why they say that revenge is the dish best served cold. If somebody managed to really piss you off right now and you got really, REALLY mad at them, there's a chance that if you were to immediately respond to them you might say/do something you might regret. On the other hand, if you had a chance to sleep on it and give yourself time to cool off, your response would likely be different, more calculated.
