I like the critic you're doing here, looking at the situation from different perspectives. I agree that the material we read should be judged based on what it says instead of how it is said. But still, its also a little like people.
If you attend a really interesting, well made presentation regarding resonance frequencies of major bones in the body, by the time the discussion time arrives you don't go 'yeah well I didn't pay attention to anything they said because the guy talking was wearing shorts and a tank top and I don't think that's an appropriate attire for this situation'. That's ridiculous, one can very easily get by the bad presence of a person if they have something really interesting to say... Yet, if the person talking had gone in a well tailored, clean and not attention grabbing suit it would've definitely made the public less distracted by clothes and more focused on the content.
My point is, it's ok to have your high-quality content posted with low-quality grammar if you make at least the effort to go through it and try to make it look the best you're capable of. By reading and writing over and over again our work gets little by little more appealing to the eye, but that only comes with hard work. Usually we can't really know exactly how much effort someone puts on an article, that's why our critics should't be too harsh. But often too we see the person behind a material is trying to make it sound right. It shows.
It's all about finding a balance between the music and the lyrics. I don't know what it is, but I know there must be one.
Great post, made me think a lot!
