I wonder if I am the only one who thought that this "Get a random three digit number (000-999) from goo.gl/x45un" question was in fact a hidden rationality test, sort of "are you irrational enough to follow a shortened url that can lead everywhere, including a potentially dangerous or at least annoying website" and skipped it.
By the same rationalisation it could also be a test for paranoia.
If you trust lesswrong to avoid referering you to a dangerous website than you should also trust Yvain to do the same.

The slippery slope argument is a classic fallacy.
Anna Salamon is the executive director of CFAR. Not trusting her but trusting LessWrong is indeed crazy. Karma points are not the primary way to decide whether to trust someone.
