PS--
But I think Petra just means to say that we shouldn't post poems with stupid mistakes in them, whether it's spelling or meter. I can't imagine anyone seriously disagrees with the sentiment. I think she's talking about absolutely glaring metrical mistakes, not arguable ones. Personally, I try to live by that rule myself, but I find it reassuring when a poet I admire proves mortal by the occasional dropped beat.
