Indeed.  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.
