I think it's wise for ALL of us to be concerned with the integrity of the SteemIt platform! Don't let garbage collect in our 'house'.
I don't think that taking action the way you did is censorship in any way. This is a social community - meaning the community decides what is good and what is not (makes me think of the 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' signal from the audiences in the Roman colosseum).
If we have the ability to reward good content/people, then we should absolutely be allowed to exercise our collective voice to downvote abusers of the platform. I wish there were guidelines on the best way to go about this. I can see the potential for a 'feeding frenzy' on downvotes.
