I tend to look at things from the lens of social capital. If I'm always yelling about something, it desensitizes them when something bad actually happens. The "boy who cried wolf" is the downside, and being explicit and loud about something that hasn't even happened and (to most people's eyes) isn't in the works... It marginalizes you. A lot.
