Exposing yourself to any judgments, period, is risky. The OB crowd is perhaps the best-commenting community I’ve come across: they read previous comments and engage the arguments made there. How many other bloggers are like Robin Hanson and consistently read and reply to comments?
Anyway, as a result, any comment is bound to be read and often responded to by others. There may not have been a point value attached, but judgments were made.
