What are you talking about? Booing is not censorship. The speaker at the event is not entitled to silence from the audience. A boo is not the equivalent of censorship since the speaker can speak regardless of boos from the audience. Freedom of expression is forever more for expressing Strong Hatred than for expressing "general" or strong disagreement.
Now you want to equate someone booing at someone else as censorship, which is fine, in idiot land. Good luck stopping said "censorship".
Freedom of Expression (booing) is Censorship. Stop the Censorship (freedom of expression).
Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery.
If I hate my neighbor (and everything they stand for), is it an exercise of my free-speech to follow them around the city with my air-horn, honking at them any time the open their mouth?
I'm suggesting that harassment is functionally-indistinguishable from censorship.
If you disagree, please present your preferred definitions of "harassment" and "censorship".
Specifically for differences of opinion.
If your rep is -9 then it is extremely difficult (nearly impossible) to participate in any form of discussion with the broader steem community. I've even tried to direct-link to their comments and the link does not work.
It's de facto censorship.
AND, I'M EVEN AFRAID TO MENTION THEIR NAMES BECAUSE I FEAR BEING TARGETED/HARRASED/DOWNVOTED BY UNREASONABLE PEOPLE, SO THERE IS CLEARLY A "CHILLING-EFFECT" WHICH IS, I WOULD ARGUE, PART OF THE INTENT OF THE DOWNVOTERS.
If nobody can hear you over the incessant air-horns, then you are de facto censored.
Do you think that people who disagree should (EITHER) express their disagreement with reasonable words (OR) simply avoid each other (use the "mute" function)?
Ad hominem attacks and air-horning your opponent are the tactics of FASCISM (dismantles open dialogue).
Well, thanks for clearing that up.
Do you personally think it's possible to harass someone with downvotes?
From your own quote,
Downvoting someone because you disagree with their opinion is discriminatory.
Reducing someone's rep below zero has the effect of nullifying or impairing a person's voice (free-speech).
When these behaviors become repetitive, they are defined as bullying.
Downvoting someone into negative rep clearly SUPPRESSES them from expressing themselves (all of their posts are automatically hidden, which is another way of saying "suppressed").
How? How can someone "still express themselves" over the sound of an air-horn blast?
It's an analogy.

Analogy
Analogy (from Greek ἀναλογία, analogia, "proportion", from ana- "upon, according to" [also "against", "anew"] + logos "ratio" [also "word, speech, reckoning"]) is a cognitive process of transferring information or meaning from a particular subject (the analog, or source) to another (the target), or a linguistic expression corresponding to such a process. In a narrower sense, analogy is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction, in which at least one of the premises, or the conclusion, is general rather than particular in nature. The term analogy can also refer to the relation between the source and the target themselves, which is often (though not always) a similarity, as in the biological notion of analogy.
Analogy plays a significant role in problem solving, as well as decision making, argumentation, perception, generalization, memory, creativity, invention, prediction, emotion, explanation, conceptualization and communication.
