I can report that I have a great many things I think might greatly contribute, but never post anything because I am absolutly unable to handle even a low risk of geting downvoted due to mental helth issues. I utterly despise the karma system for this reason and it has basicaly robed LW of my entire public contribution, wich could have been great. I routinely use only PMs to avoid these issues when I think I can help somone specific, but often I dont know who to contact.

Why not post on your own blog, and occasionally link worthwhile content from open threads?

Having your own blog is pretty much LW without the karma.

Because then his links could be downvoted.

I have a G+ account and a twitter, and find myself never using them. Turns out I don't have anything to say to the audience "people who follow me personally", and if I use it only for what you propose I might as well use Pastebin, with is really silly.
