Please rethink using the downvote in this manner. It sets quite a bad precedent. There's nothing offensive or objectionable in this post, even if you disagree with it 100%. And by the standard you are setting here, MANY other posts should be downvoted for the very same reason.

But the fact is that posts have a shelf life and ideas are going to get recycled. At the very least, new people to the platform are going to have their own take on things. Not to mention, it's understandable and expected that people will want to personally present this kind of information on their own blog to their own audience.

We should be encouraging that. Instead we're downvoting him while encouraging others to not only bash him but also to have an entitlement mentality and complain about their own lack of success on the platform? Why would we do such a thing? Are we trying to shoot ourselves in the foot here?
