Your comment was thoroughly written and informative, thanks. Not sure why you've been down-voted. Is discussing meta aspects of submissions frowned upon?

I would think blog writers would like to see tips on how to write well.

I'd be interested to see if the author of the original post revises his entry.

Meta aspects? Ha.

No, being the grammar police is frowned upon.

That's not being the grammar police, that's being a grammar teacher. I see nothing wrong with that.
