The problem is, it makes you look like an illiterate chimp, even if you're not.
If you want a post to be taken seriously, write it in proper English, otherwise people are likely to laugh at you.
We know not everyone has the same standard of written English, and that there are some younger posters who may not yet have completely mastered written English yet. That's fine. Even the occasional 'jokey' post in "txt tlk" is okay - we all do it.
But this is not a mobile phone text service or a live chat forum; there is rarely a need for a speedy reply, and there is no limit on the number of characters you can use, so there is no need to use unnecessary abbreviations.
In my experience, not only does it take longer to type a message in "txt tlk" than to type it fully (I actually have to think harder to abbreviate in that way), but it also makes a post much harder for others to read.
Apart from all of that, it looks naff on anything apart from a mobile. That's why websites, books and newspapers don't use it on their pages.
So be courteous to your fellow posters, and write in proper English to the best of your ability.

I know, some people just need to chill out more. They will jump at you for anything.
