Yes the censorship sucks, and they will use that against us to gain credibility. I think censorship should not be done even if we are right, it is just a bad thing to do.

I agree with this view too. We are right, Classic is a disaster, but Theymos has now fame of being a grumpy mod, the populists can use this to gain followers for their Classic, XT or whatever they call it takeover. I understand the frustration that it must be to see Bitcoin reddit being flooded with Classic/XT stuff tho, and a lot of it is paid to influence people. What should be done is to inform people, banning it probably gives you a more dark image which is exploitable by the enemy.

And even if this particular censorship instance is beneficial for us, we still cannot use it. Because it can become a weapon against us in the future, so it would be hyporcritical to use it ourselves.
