On one level, if you're willing to post, you take your chances with unsympathetic responses; life is like that, and each of us needs a certain amount of challenging (assumptions, etc.). On another level, not wanting to be prodded in unexpected ways is most simply solved by maintaining one's silence, which is (obviously) something to respect yet also (obviously) antithetical to a carnival.
This sort of idea is part of the reason why I feel so uncomfortable speaking against anything I've found in the Asian Women's Carnival - I had some issues particularly with some of the articles in the first one, but I felt very uncomfortable breaking that semi safe space thing we sort of had going (or that I perceived we sort of had going).
