Not everyone knows Chat-speak. It would be as if someone was posting in middle english. It can be read, but it has to be deciphered. Why be irritating when you can be easily understood?
In the end, it comes down to whether you want people to understand you at first glance, or if you want them to sit there and wonder what you're saying--knowing that half the time people will assume that if you couldn't be bothered to spell the word out, you couldn't be bothered to have something worthwhile to say.
