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.

I disagree with that. I don't think that it has anything to do with whether people can understand it or not - it's fairly simple to work out most of it. I have a feeling that it's really just down to the fact that it is a pet hate for many people.
If someone's post is filled with something that annoys you, then you're 100% less likely to want to read it.
