I personally prefer to use proper grammar but don’t mind the mistakes others make. I do find the text-speak difficult to read though, and I find myself skipping those posts and threads. It is my choice, of course, but why put yourself in a position where people may opt out of listening to what you have to say? Do I think it is appropriate for anything beyond simple texts? No. But I don’t find it offensive. And if I was a mod, I would even offer to ‘long-hand’ it whenever I had time, as a public service. Along with adding periods and correcting thread title errors which I find bother me much more than post-errors do.
