Is it really necessary to always put a comma after therefore in the middle of a sentece ?
For example :
"This definition does not say a lot, therefore a slightly more elaborated version would be appreciated."
"He is strong, therefore he must be a likely candidate."
Is it so wrong to write such a sentence ? Do I must write it this other way:
"This definition does not say a lot, therefore, a slightly more elaborated version would be appreciated."
"He is strong, therefore, he must be a likely candidate."
I know that a comma is suggested after and before therefore, but I prefer the first sentence because the second one puts too much emphasy on "therefore".
