Starting in 2006, Hansen issued a number of ultimatums. In all cases if we didn't do as he wanted by this or that date then we were all doomed. Those dates have come and gone. We are not doomed, we are not about to be doomed.
We should tell Hansen to go away.

Deadlines are designed to force you into a sale before you’ve had time to think,” the Better Business Bureau warns. Hansen’s tactics are somewhere between an over-eager salesman and a scammer, to which the BBB recommends:
Pay attention to your emotions. This may sound touchy-feely, but high pressure sales are all about manipulation. If you start to feel overwhelmed, anxious, rushed or like you just can’t think clearly, come to your own rescue. Walk out of the room. Hang up. Tell the salesperson to leave.
