If English isn't your strongest subject, work harder. If you have a disability that makes writing or understanding language more difficult, you can let me know and I'll keep it in mind as I read things you post. It's still not an excuse for sloth (i.e., ur, u, ne1, etc.) End of story.
Excuse me for saying so, but i think your logic is a bit flawed.
Thats good that you put alot of effort into everything you do, and im sure its served u well with many things. But who are you to decided the difference between when somebody is struggling to get thier ideas across and when thier just lazy?

Lets say Person A (a member of the CD forums) is reading a thread, and feels they know something or have a idea that would benefit the discussion. Now thier not the greatest at expressing themselves in any form, but thier working on it and slowly getting better. Does that make what their trying to say anyless signifigant? Are you gonna disregaurd them simply because of a flaw they are working to correct?

I myself cant stand people using rediculous excuses, especially when thier just lazy. But i dont feel that anyone has the right to make snap judgements about another person simply because of some MISTAKES. Especially when 90% of the time you havent (and probably wont) meet the person face to face. Itelligence of a person or worth of thier statments shouldnt be based on words you read on a computer screen.

EDIT: This is the type of thing i think reputation should NOT be based on.
