The difference is that Rhylan wasn't purporting to offer you "helpful" criticism.

Fine, if you aspire to be nothing more than a poster on d-m.com, clearly basic grammar isn't a requirement; however, if you aspire to perhaps get paid to write about sports, or at least to have another outlet pick up your stories, you should put a bit more time into proofreading and editing.
Are you sure you know what "grammar" is? This "serious flaw" you reference has absolutely nothing to do with grammar. Zilch.
