Should I Post a Blog Comment if it is Complimentary, but Full of Spelling and Basic Grammar Errors?”

First of all, let me set the record straight, I am not dude. So many blog comments come over saying “hey dude, great blog ya got there…blah, blah, blah.” Even though the content of the comment may be complimentary, I refuse to post these comments. I am not a dude.
Second point. About half of the comments I receive I refuse to post because of poor grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
Below are three samples I recently received and refused to post.. I did not, nor could I ever make these up:
1) You got a indeed useful blog I compel ought to been here reading in behalf of about an hour. I am a newbie and your success is very much an insight in behalf of me.
2) I was looking instead of pivotal information on this subject. The advice was important as I am nigh to launch my own portal. Thanks conducive to providing a missing associate in my business.
3) great experience, dude! thanks for this great post wow… it’s very wonderful report.
I guess you can call me a blog comment snob, but I believe that approving these kinds of comments reflects poorly on me. A few have slipped through early on, and I am now going back to take a second look and delete with a more critical eye.
So if you would like to comment on my blog and see it posted, please use spell and grammar check, proper capitalization and punctuation.
Thank you.

Thanks for the nice post…
If we didn’t accept material with bad grammar, we could never follow directions from the IRS, read daily newspapers or buy food in restaurants. We can fume, but we must accept — or edit. You can choose whether to edit or ignore the comments. Sometimes I choose to publish inarticulate stuff. Susan http://www.susanperloffwrites.com
