I'm wondering which can follow which.
Do you think all the four below are acceptable?
(1) I'm not angry. I'm no more angry than you are.
(2) I'm not angry. I'm no angrier than you are.
(3) I'm angry, but I'm no more angry than you are.
(4) I'm angry, but I'm no angrier than you are.
Thank you in advance

The comparative of angry is angrier.
(The superlative is angriest). |

Hi, pugachevV
So, does it mean you don't accept (5) or (6)?
(5) He is [no more] young [than] I am.
(6) He's [no more] a terrorist [than] you are.
