I think it might help to do your questioning in private or at least in front of as few people as possible. Questioning is more likely to be social challenging questioning if its done in public rather than private.

The potential benefits from private questioning should be weighed against the cost of the information not being visible to others. I like to see Wei_Dai's questions and the responses they elicit. I think the public exchanges have significant value beyond the immediate participants.
