Smelt like one, too.  Though the point still stands.

While Linux, itself, is much vaunted as being about as safe as you can
get on the net, it will depend on how you configure it and the software
you run on it (blogging software, for instance, is quite vulnerable as
its often set up badly, and often difficult to get it working with good
security settings).  And I'm not sure if the original poster is using
different OSs (at either end of the equation).

If your firewall is the only thing keeping you safe, do not drop it. 
You should only ever carefully poke holes through it for specific
purposes.

If you've think that you've got everything else safely set up, and the
firewall is just for added protection, then proceed at your own risk.
