I believe that it can. Since by definition virtue is independent of anger.

Anger is not the opposite or antithesis of virtue if that is what you were getting at. Moral goodness is measured by society and each act will yield a different reaction in each society. The normative social reaction is what deems an act moral or immoral. Anger has little to do with it.

What? Since when was virtue and anger synonymous? Virtue, and its evil imposer, piety, are constructs of the individual mind (and, in evil piety's case, the institutionalized group). Anger rarely has a role in such values.

no you have to have yin and yang and even if it was possible life wouldnt be the same anger can be positive too.

You are stuck in the Garden of Eden (the beginning of duality).
