Should Paul curse people?

[marco]

Here is Paul speaking with menace:

Galatians 1: 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God's curse! 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God.


It seems to me he's obviously trying to win over people, not God, though that might be a secondary motive.

Does Paul have the right to call down curses on people who don't go along with his version of things?

Paul later informs his listeners that he got his message from Jesus. Is his word sufficient? And why?

Secondly, you are a carnally-minded unbeliever, so the Bible is confusion to you.

I agree with Jesus, so cancel my subscription on this evil message board. You people attack the Bible in such an evil way, but we believers can't use what the Bible says about you evil hypocrites! Therefore, I shake the very dust of your wicked message board off of my feet as a witness against you.

Jesus said:

Matthew 10
[14] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
[15] Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
