English translation:don't be nuts
Explanation:
meaning we don't need to push things to an extreme / you're being paranoid when you don't need to be (чс = чрезвычайная ситуация and not черный список... we're not talking about blocking anyone, we're talking about a request for extreme measures when the context doesn't require them)
