Sounds like a great them for a time travel movie!

I think the main point I’m trying to make is that sometimes the response to
an issue can be as ‘alarmist’ (for want of a better word) as the original
issue. The Danish embassy may have remained unburnt had one person in an
editorial meeting in a small Danish newspaper had said “yes I think the
response is alarmist but oh well” rather than “yes I think the response is
alarmist and it should never have been made”.

PS. And likewise I hope I’m managing as respectable a discussion as I believe
you to be (since Dave reminded me of that last bit of your original post).

Well, I still respect you. And I think we actually feel the same way about the
original issue at hand. I’m just more annoyed by it (alarm bells ring). I’m
going to go play with LEGOs.
