I am very, very glad that many publications, both online and offline, disagreed with your attitude and reprinted some of the cartoons. It was important both in solidarity and in expressing that freedom of the press should not be cowed by threats of violence

equally as many agree with my attitude ,indeed my attitude was influenced by those members of the media who did not feel the need to further antagonise and put their staff at risk or simply felt that publishing offensive material was not needed

So apparently the free press, media, art, etc, must not set out to deliberately cause offence or insult. Gotcha, Chief. That leaves things pretty sterile given that there will be those who take offense or insult at pretty much anything.
