You would not be doing censorship, you would be doing damage property. I think you do not understand how powerful the meaning of censorship is, just because you do not agree with someone, it doesn't mean it's censorship.

You need to have the power, or censorship won't work. You can't censor at 15%. That's not censorship. Now, if I own a book store and I don't want to sell a book, that's not censorship also. It would be censorship if the government decided that the book can't be published. Because I could just go in another book store and buy it. Censorship and personal opinions are not the same thing.

Same thing here on this board.
