I don't think it's right to pretend that age is integral to the way people behave on a message board. It's more culture. When the Oddworld Forums were first born the main problem was people speaking in Ebonics. Then along came texting, and everyone decided to reduce understanding, comprehension and clarity by simply forgetting about the vowels (Dido eliminates the consonants with to same effect). Now it's people who justify the Internet by stamping on their keyboards and posting the result.
There is little excuse for abusing language, but that doesn't justify keeping people from their right to communicate. The most we can do is show disdain. Actually, the most we can do is turn the other cheek, but then we'd become like a state education system and everything would fall apart.
