Eric that is pure speculation about Pauls thorn (especially in regard to anger management - no one knows (he could have been gay for all we know or maybe he was a womanizer). For that matter you could say that Jesus had an anger management issue when he threw the money changers down the steps of the temple. Paul was a very interesting guy. In addition to his being highly educated, multilingual, and his father a leading Rabbi, he was also a reviled tax collector (in addition to a persecutor of Christians). He was also the only apostle not in the original 12 and Jesus appeared to him, after his death and facilitated his conversion. He also wrote about 1/2 of the books in the New Testament.
