It's not the equivalent at all. You keep asserting so though despite that censorship is not Broadcasting what you want to censor with a loud noise over it, especially when you don't have the only copy and cannot stop anyone from writing or speaking by such ridiculous "tactics", the difference is between a speaking engagement being stopped vs being disrupted, exactly like steem, nobody can stop anyone from writing no matter how much they try to disrupt them, and disruption is only in terms of how much conviction one has as someone with a strong conviction will not relent in the face of such little adversity.

Hello @baah,
I edited my comment again after having read all of your exchanges wit @logiczombie.
so... I am leaving without my former question.
What is your conscious intention when you downvote someone?
Nice job dodging the question. You should be a politician.
What is your conscious intention when you downvote someone?
It's a simple question.
(IFF) you don't have a reason (THEN) you are by definition an un-reasonable person (a person who acts without reasons).
(IFF) you claim to have a reason but refuse to reveal it, claiming it is secret, or unimportant, or "just too complicated to explain" (THEN) your unrevealed reason is functionally-indistinguishable from NO reason (AND) you are therefore functionally-indistinguishable from an un-reasonable person (a person who acts without reasons).
Do you believe censorship is about intention or is it purely a measure of consequence?
Do you believe racism is about intention or is it purely a measure of consequence?
Do you believe murder is about intention or is it purely a measure of consequence?
I'm perfectly happy to follow you down either path (the primacy of intention (OR) the primacy of consequence).
All conversation boils down to an exchange of personal opinions.
My intention is to explore the similarities and identify the differences between our opinions.
Would it be fair to say that you believe intention is NEVER relevant?
