But the average reader, not the people responding to forums and blogs, won't take the time or make the effort to respond out of political correctness or fear of hurting someones feelings.
You state you're not hearing about the Average Reader being concerned with editing, but then go on to state that you're not hearing from Average Reader at all. Seems a logical conclusion that perhaps they are concerned with editing, but they simply aren't giving you feedback.

Your job as an author is to entertain me. My job as a reader is to purchase your book and be entertained by it. I will sometimes leave reviews, but I'm under absolutely no obligation to do so. Hire an editor! Don't expect your readers to pay you and then tell you where your mistakes are. I'm paying you, not the other way around.
