A flair is a good idea, but TBH I have no problem with a reasonable level of self-promotion. Posting around once per week is certainly on the safe side in my mind.
My only objection is in terms of content. Take the title for example. "was" and "eventually" are conflicting. "Was" implies "has been, but no longer," and "eventually" implies "is not, but will be." There's also the fact that "Turning Americans Into Islamic Mexicans" implies that US citizens are moving to Mexico, gaining citizenship there, and converting to Islam.
The combined title seems to say that AIDS has caused some sort of quantum state (pun of all puns right there) where Americans are simultaneously both (and neither) US and Mexican citizens.
Anyways, I digress. To sum it up, I think content should be judged on its merits first, and its source second. When neither merit or source can be found, I think its safe to write it off as being a troll.
