This reminds me of some old OB posts, I think, on non-conformity - the upshot being that you can't get away with being public on all the ways you are a maverick and to do so is self-sabotaging.
Also tangentially related is Paul Graham's old essay What You Can't Say.
Related: On interpreting maverick beliefs as signals indicating rationality:
Undiscriminating Skepticism
Only related, though; I take Eliezer as pointing out that individual beliefs are rational but beliefs are highly correlated with other beliefs, so any one position doesn't allow much inference. The OP and Hanson are discussing more practical signaling issues unrelated to epistemic inferences.
Do you have a title or link?
http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/06/against_free_th.html and http://www.overcomingbias.com/2007/06/how_to_be_radic.html seem to be what I was thinking of.
Thank you!
