Other people speaking does not censor you. Deciding not to speak because someone upset you is not an infringement of your rights

To be clear I am not talking about the heckler's veto, where someone tries to actively interfere with the reception of someone's speech

It depends what they say. If they say 'advocate for yourself and we'll lynch you', it does effectively censor you.
