First off, how friendly/hostile are Danes compared to their Transatlantic cousins?

How can anybody get a Danish citizen to release a grudge on another?

This is not just for me to learn, but for anyone else who plans to visit Denmark or intermingle with Danes anywhere.
yeah, they should come with instruction manuals...
LOL
I like this thread.
Being a Dane myself, I would say that I'm not sure we are that complicated (not any more than others). Or at least I don't hope so.
As far as I know, other people tend to find Danes quite friendly. But it might be more objective if you got an opinion from a non-Dane who knows Danes. But I can say that we usually aren't as wild as the old Vikings.
How does one please a Dane? - Make æbleskiver!
for instance (kind of a spherular pancake if you could say so)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86bleskiver . But no blood from neither first- nor second born children, thank you.
I don't think (hope) we are more different / difficult to please than our transatlantic cousins.
And about getting a Danish citizen to release a grudge on another... why would people want that? Or do I misunderstand the question?
Hm, the same way you get any other citizen to do it, I guess?
Anyway, we are not that dangerous, just come and visit Denmark if you like.
