What would you say about Gandalf's response, when Gimli tells him that he thought Fangorn was dangerous?



I guess it depends on how you take the "more dangerous than anything you will ever meet."

They met Gandalf and would never meet The Dark Lord. So he is as badass as it gets for them. If that would have been possible then they would have met someone equally as dangerous. He doesn't necessarily say that he is less powerful/dangerous, it could be taken that The Dark Lord is just equally as powerful right?

That's not how I read it, but I don't have any way to actually disprove your interpretation of the text.
