You make a very good point. I've read some comments here where there is absolutely NO punctuation, their thoughts are in one long run-on sentence, and it seriously hurts my eyes to try and decipher what they're trying to say. A lot of their message literally gets lost when you go on to the next post because simple periods weren't used to separate sentences. That's not to say anyone needs to prepare a bullet-pointed presentation here, but simple 2nd grade grammar skills are enough to keep it legible.
The worst is when they say you are a shill or a troll or even worse those weirdos who start calling names and using words that nobody should use and going insane... they all have horrible spelling and lots of hate in their hearts. I know people in real life like this, they have good intentions in most cases, but generally cannot handle criticism and have trouble keeping jobs due to their angry streak.
That really makes me wonder if they weren't so hateful, would they articulate better? I can just imagine someone angrily typing away at a keyboard without a thought in their head as to their grammar or punctuation, the anger blinds them and they probably don't care about any of it, being so angry. You almost feel sorry for them....almost.
Also because they have no other defense for anything, ever. But seriously, it's not always easy being on the right because we see what's really going on, and it's disturbing and very hard to deal with sometimes (church has helped me a lot). But to be one of the blissfully ignorant who have no idea and defend their idiocy to such a degree, no thanks. My stepdaughter's boyfriend is like that and we can't stand him.

You feel bad only until the point they start name calling because you mentioned their spelling...
