I can often estimate what HN's reaction will be to my comments and whether or not I get downvoted. However, I think it is of utmost importance not to censor myself and also spell out unpopular things that I am convinced of, even if it means that I am bleeding karma. It means I have challenged someone's opinion and they did not like it. That actually means that my message achieved its goal.
