When you 777 a directory exposed to the Internet, you leave not only your own site, but the server itself at risk. Since anybody can write to such a directory, they can send their own malicious code up to operate under your permissions. While your rights on your server may be limited, they are probably at least enough to compromise the confidentiality of other ISP members files.
