The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Robots will never take over the world because machines, especially of the computerized variety always eventually screw up or stop working of their own accord. That's assuming anybody is actually capable of programming a truly autonomous machine in the first place. As a child, I was addicted to science fiction. As an adult, I look at the technological wonders and terrors we've wrought in our dreams and say "That s**t would never work!"

I trust robots as much as I would trust anyone. The rumor Frazzled has a bunker with years of food, thousands of rounds of ammo, silver bullets, and stakes (hey you never know when the weresquirrels and vampire bunnies might get uppity, again) is completely false...

That would depend entirely on the robot. Robots that create delicious desserts are of course good and helpful. Those who do not are sadly incapable of appreciating the light and glory of turtle pie. Eventually, this lack will drive the mechanized malcontents into a murderous frenzy.
