Exactly. Big disclaimer and a flashing "rated as: propaganda" next to it
has to do the job. We don't want the majority to be able to shut the small
guy up, but we do want to be able to make it clear we don't like what he's
saying. Except ofcourse when it's clear you're dealing with a troll. In
that case we should reserve the right to boot the article.

Very difficult stuff.
