Nonetheless, if somebody does in fact post a distraction, why shouldn't
people impacted by the distraction have a right-of-reply, in your terms,
posting a counter-distraction?
This is a good question. I would do 2 things.
1) Offer the ability for people to make take-down requests, removing
the specific post from the aggregator.
2) If 1 got too large then just remove the aggregator entirely and
replace it with vetted and curated blog posts driven through the a
dedicated Fedora SIG focused on reviewing the content.
