I don't think her reaction makes a tremendous amount of sense, at least as she explains it. Nonetheless, she's an intelligent, interesting, and well-informed person, and I don't think the world would be a worse place if there were a rationality blog without a scoring system.
I've spent a fair amount of time in venues with and without scoring, and I don't see any correlation with the quality of the discussion.

It's possible to be intelligent and interested in rationality, but uninterested in being constantly graded and judged.
What do you find so unpleasant about being judged?
