Everyone has their own style of writing, and we can't and shouldn't really expect others to change their style to fit our standards. It is an excellent way to find like-minded people, as is. Though there are doubtless many exceptions to the rule, generally leet-speakers are not going to sound too much more intelligent if you break their shift key and rip off the numbers. Differing english styles provide an adaptive way for people to find others, and quickly discard those who are interested in different things.
Just to note: This has nothing to do with the sort of social chameleons that many of us know or even are, this is about people with a chosen style.
