I recommend reacting to actual upvotes and downvotes rather than hypothetical karma.
Instead of generalizing to other people from your reactions, just say what you liked/didn't like about aspects of a post.
If you're interested in writing about problems with commonly given advice, I'm interested in reading it.
I'm pretty sure Username is talking about what s/he didn't like, it's just expressed in an indirect "people would" form.
While this is no doubt true, NancyLebovitz's advice is still good. "I thought" is clearer, shorter, and more forceful, than "People may think"; it is also more honest.
