Second, Greydwarves rather easily drop aggro

I outran 3 greys with Eikthyr power on. I know they were the same ones because one was hit. The only dwarves I've seen dropping aggro are brutes and shamans. Greylings and greydwarves only drop aggro (in my experience) when reaggroing another mob (because they tend to die to them, mostly). They've even chased me by sea throwing rocks at my raft.
Not to say the incredible distances they cover to stick their noses where they don't belong. I've coexisted with a troll not too far from base and he never came after my things even if I was building and making noise. Dwarves are always pestering my bees or throwing rocks at my ship.

Try what I mentioned in the post above; lure a Greyling into your base, and just sit down. Watch him casually walk around. (Make sure it's inside.)
Do the same thing with a Dwarf, if you can. Heck, a friend and I just the other night got a HUGE Brute all penned up and docile. :D

EDIT: Building pens right around mobs in the right way will make them docile. Well, with some mobs. I've tried Fulings and Greydwarves/lings. Can't confirm others, know it won't work for bats, doubt it would work for drakes or Golems. Probably not Abominations, either.
