I know someone like that, in fact they are a very good friend of mine. They do indeed try to the best of their abilities but they recognize that they often have a hard time saying what they think. I respect these people for trying.
We aren't talking about "shutting off" anyone because they misspelled a word. We are discussing not responding to someone who has obviously not made any effort to communicate in a socially acceptable manner. When I see a post that is terrible one day I probably respond. If the next post is terrible I might shoot them a PM (unless it is obvious they are just bad at English). If they respond to the PM blowing me off with "Bah, I am too busy to be bothered." then I will not answer another question they ask. I may even go so far as to hit the neg rep button on the next poorly written post in a last ditch effort to let them know it is not an effective way of communicating.
On a semi related note. Do you really need to use Caps Lock? It makes your post go from a great post to reading solely as "RAGE! ARGH!!!!!!!"
