The process by which moderators of left-wing Internet blogs and message boards can censor the messages of those who disagree with their views without completely deleting them, thus allowing them to claim that they are NOT censoring messages. Claims will be made that messages that are disemvoweled were troll-bait, but invariably the messages contain views contrary to those of the moderator. This method of censorship was created and first used by Teresa Nielsen Hayden.
