so you call it
"giving context" (which would be ok)
when in fact you try to silence an inconvenient voice
(make links disappear, erase references, suppress ...)

that's a euphemism I've never came across so far.

where do you start? where do you end?

It’s so much better to be the Scholls of our time and fight the dark forces and shed light on the hidden networks of power!
