Cons - Its a large time and energy investment to word a post in a way that does not get shredded in this environment - I don't tend to receive much in the way of positive feedback or appreciation for doing it - I will almost certainly receive a lot in the way of negative feedback regardless - potentially quite a lot

Pros - I might be able to share something with someone else that creates value for them - Having a reasonable reputation in the community could be good for my business - I might receive some positive reinforcement

I ended up deciding to do a rewrite of one of the fundamental underlying principles of this post into a new post, which is almost done. It has been something that has been many hours of work. A lot more work than I had anticipated to get the post up to snuff where I think it is less likely to get shot down than this original post.

The amount of work it took to get to a point where it might be acceptable to LWers is unlikely to be balanced by the pros, so I am leaning toward it being my last post, although I am very open to having my utility function show me otherwise.
