These are true words (from me), exactly, however, your post with the word "threatened" has no place in the current context... It is currently about the dissatisfaction that exists because of the current reasons and examples like the one from Schwabe23 show it too clearly.
The quote "slap in the face" fits very well here too, because that is exactly what it is for everyone who has been planning a 40-house for months and does not know what they are supposed to do or are allowed to do now.
