The key part of that being 'ON PURPOSE' which you even highlighted yourself.

I'll try to re-itterate; this board has visitors whose first language is not English, and as such even well written English will be difficult for them to read. When a person intentionally starts abbreviating and using txt speak then it means that probably a lot of people here won't be able to read it easily. That means that the poster is not only being lazy, but they are being rude and thoughtless.
