It's absolutely okay to have a preference for the type of candidate you are looking for. Even better, how that preferred candidate should appear as early as their application.
However, don't classify the candidate as a "moron" (implied via the tone of your blog post) simply because they don't meet your preferred qualifications. Pass on them and move on.
Better yet, this is also a chance to teach if your up to it. Rather then get upset, why not ask them to elaborate AND tell them why you are having them do so. Inform them why you think it is important, helpful, and how it may be important when applying at other companies.
