Sarah, you’re right that taking a strong stance seems to make posts more popular. Maybe this is a position that is more acceptable than I’m giving it here. For example, I wouldn’t consider Jonathan Swift’s essay “A Modest Proposal” to be irresponsible. Hmmm. Rethinking this point.

Rengaraman, thanks for the comment. When I think of plagiarism, I think of taking someone else’s content and using it without their permission. I suppose taking someone else’s experiences and communicating them without their permission could be a form of plagiarism somehow, but I’m not sure.

Tom,
Did you meant ‘Plagiarism’ indirectly..? (I may be wrong)

Approval – sounds a bit tough as we don’t know whether people will take it in a right sense. And If we’re mentioning about our managers (boss), getting approval is almost ruled out. As you said, it’s better to forget that post.

Another good post.

I expected to be listed among the irresponsible rather than as a paragon of responsibility. I must be getting old. (SHUT. UP.)

It does seem that posts in which I take a strong stance are more popular than the careful ones, so it appears that readers sometimes encourage irresponsibility.

Another excellent post in this series.
