If you allow people to comment, then their comments must likewise be
sanitized.  If you do not, then that is an indirect hazard to you --
allowing common attack vectors like XSS vulnerabilities to go
unaddressed, is hazardous to your professional reputation.  :-)

IOW, don't just do it because of any direct immediate threat to you.
Do it because it's The Right Thing To Do.
