I used to agree with you; I never really liked grammar, thought it as too uptight, a waste of time, just generally stupid, etc. My current English teacher changed my mind. Grammar is very important to making sure that the point that people understand from your sentence is the point that you meant for them to understand. Good grammar can also make what you write easier to read; conversely, bad grammar will make what you write harder to read. Another important thing to remember on the Internet is that many people come from countries where English is not the native tongue; in such an environment with people who may not have an excellent command of slang and have difficulty understanding text written with poor grammar, it is impolite and inconsiderate to use bad (or non-standard) grammar and spelling, especially when it is on purpose.
