Considering all this, do you still think the risk of bad publicity is insignificant?

Pretty much, yeah. The opinion of RationalWiki is probably worth somewhere in between the opinion of 4chan and the opinion of Conservapedia. And people quit forums all the time, that's not something to worry about.

I see this as a case of "the original version of the article was unclear, and has been edited to make it clearer". Not a scandal of any kind.
