The first sentence is understandable. The second one has no relation to the first. Ok, so you judge people that type unaccordingly to grammar and punctuation, that's fine, I do too. But why (OH, WHY?) do you have to single out non-native speakers as those who do this? Or assume that, if you judge someone for not typing correctly, the others will think you're being racist towards non-native speakers?

Most people who type all over the place with broken English are native English speakers. Because we ESL try our damnedest to be understood and NOT get tagged as "that one person who tries at English and fails, how cute, it thinks it can talk". I don't even use broken punctuation at tumblr, where is kind of the norm. Is THAT ingrained in us.

PS: As in everything, there are exceptions. But what I'm saying is pretty much what I've seen and experienced, and I've been on the 'net perfecting my English since I was twelve.
