I know that I posted about a song my wife from Argentina had performed on Ted Talks. She specifically wrote about issues of censorship in her country and about a popular announcer who was removed from radio after 30 years because of his political views. The song I thought was pretty good and got a warm reception at the TED event. However, when I decided to post it in an Argentina Reddit page all hell broke loose with people saying she didn't know what she was talking about, etc. Then, she made a reddit account to reply to that criticism. After that her posts appeared to just "disappear" from the page. Now my post appears to have been deleted from Reddit (Reddit just takes the page off of the front of the site list when it gets deleted and can still be viewed just so you're wondering about the link).

You can view this thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/argentina/comments/4dm6k7/tango_acerca_de_mauricio_macri_en_ted_talks_que/

Does he have this much rabid support from people that they're willing to just censor out opposing viewpoints to this extreme or is this just a really weird exception on the Reddit? Just wondering how much support he has.
