I disagree with calling it censorship. If it was deliberately hidden by the mods, that would be different. But each redditor has the right to express an opinion. I believe that part of the appeal of the AMA sub is that it's a chance to interact with a semi famous person. Many redditors obviously felt like they wanted to use their chance to interact with Ann by showing her that they feel that she adds nothing of substance to the political discourse. Their way to do that is with a down vote.

Can you expound on that? Do you consider anyone who believed it was possible to not be a true friend? What you were accused of was terrible, and I'm sure terrifying for people that knew you to think it was possibly true. Are they bad friends for distancing themselves from a possible child molester? You are obviously not, but they didn't know that at the time.

I don't want to minimize what you went through, I'm really sorry for it. But no one ever thinks someone they are close to is capable of these things. Otherwise, people would be caught immediately. Most people who do bad things tend to hide it well from those that are close to them. This is obviously not the case with you, as you are obviously innocent. I'm very glad the justice system worked and proved you innocent.

No question, but thanks for doing this. I think it's totally valid for people to have different opinions on this issue. I for one support Obamacare (don't think it's perfect, but overall a step in the right direction). However, I totally respect that a lot of people won't agree with it, but hope that they're not walking around with a bunch of misconceptions about who is taking advantage of this resource. I'm very glad that you're feeling better, and as an American, I'm proud that my tax dollars are helping people like you. I've grown up in a pretty blessed situation, and have never had to worry about getting access to medical care, but there is absolutely no guarantee that will be the situation for the rest of my life. I hope that if I'm in need in the future, I can access resources like this.
