This one, eh?

filter=false is to Struts as $user.comments is to Velocity
filter=true is to Struts as $esc.html($user.comments) is to Velocity
To make things clearer, let's say you have
<a href="http://some.url.com/";>some name</a>
in the comments.
$user.comments
$esc.html($user.comments)
will render as
<a href="http://some.url.com/";>some name</a>
<a href="http://some.url.com/">some name</a>
And from your browser, you will see
some name (with a link to http://some.url.com/)
<a href="http://some.url.com/";>some name</a> (no links, no nothing)
