Well, it is a fact of life that there all degrees of ability to face tings in the world. Some people feel their life is full of risk if they handle one mouse in a week, and others can fight off a tornado, six terrorists and an aluminum-siding salesman before breakfast and still wonder why things are so dull. Same with seriousness -- some people may have felt having the whole city go black was terrifying, and others may have had a cooler perspective. It is a purely subjective thing, a matter of the makeup of the individual how much they can comfortably face.

In a forum which has mutual acceptance and tolerance as a guideline, which this one does explicitly or no, it is prolly a good thing to remember that and not throw stones at people for getting stirred up, just because you don't think the reaction is warranted. It's kinda rude, which is why some folks got annoyed with Greg upstairs a bit. It is perfectly true that objectively the degree of risk and harm was pretty low during the blackout. But ya know, emotions are not objective, are they?
