Granted, there are people who have legitimate reasons for endlessly misspelling and mis-punctuating in their posts and a little sensitivity would be nice (it usually is). However, at the end of the day, 99% of "bad posts" are just due to the poster's laziness and lack of respect for their reader and the english language.
