Hard to disapprove of the apparent abuse of SAA power, when commenting on that elicits SAA action. I was appalled when I saw the threat of using the SAA in this manner, and further appalled when the SAA followed through on the threat, in response to substantive feedback on the legitimacy of this outcome. I am sorry I chickened out and did not object right away. I am glad the dam has been broken, but must admit to some lack of courage and now some comfort from safety in numbers. I expect many remain deterred from voicing their opposition to recent actions. -- Viktor.
