Is censorship ok if the person you're censoring is wrong?

Yeah, but once the power is there it will be used for less legit reasons, like removing "saying nice stuff about the wrong politician".
I'd call that crossing the line.
Censoring this may not be the same as censoring that. We might all be fine with censoring this, but censoring that is crossing the line. It doesn't mean that the first scenario is wrong just because the second is.

No matter what authority, rationale or interpretation cited, it comes to the judgment of the person actually pulling the trigger.
But this is obvious.
LOL, banned after only a day, huh?

See: "openly"
your definition is arbitrary, which makes it meaningless.
