I'd rather this forum, which has been a great community through which many of us have made good friends, be presented in a way that would have new visitors think we are nice, intelligent people, and not lazy idiots.

Honestly, I wouldnt consider your examples rude - just plain weak. I'd certainly not write back in a smartass kinda way, pointing out the senders grammar errors. Nevertheless its not the same as a messageboard where peoples freedom of speech arent as limited as formal statements or letters from banks etc.
By ignoring posts like this, the poster automatically finds out that his/her threads arent being read/commented, probably because of the the way he/she wrote the initial post.
My point is..no matter if the initial post is lazy, un-userfriendly to read etc or not....theres really no reason to ruin a perfectly relevant thread because of such little things. And yes I call this a "little thing" as I honestly didnt think it was that badly written.
