The bottom line is S/some P/pl use it and O/others seem to have an irrational dislike for it.

Trying to read it is all stuttering and echoes. Yes, I find it extremely annoying. Your post was actually painful.

i used "slash speak" as a search phrase and pulled up 18 threads, the most recent in May of this year.

i happen to use it and like it.  Feel free to block my posts, but honestly, i don't think there's one original comment to be made on the subject, and N/no O/one ever changes T/their mind, as far as i can tell.

I don't think a dislike of it is "irrational" at all.  It is improper grammar.  How is disliking it "irrational?"

I was wondering the very same thing...  I haven't read the rest of the thread, but this was my gut reaction as soon as I read her post here, and others in the past under the nic of pinkee.  I just don't see a preference as being irrational - it's just not for me to judge.

edited to add:

I don't use slash speak on the boards, however, I use it in my journaling out of respect for my Daddy, who quite likes it.  As for me, I think it's kind of annoying on the eyes, but He likes it, and it's not like I use it in all my writing (i.e., work, personal writings, etc.) everyday, so it's not a big deal...  But calling someone's opinion "irrational" because it is not aligned with one's own, IMHO, is irrational.

The only thing I'd like to point out with obesity is this: it is an addiction with food. With alcohol, you STOP consuming alcohol. With smoking, you STOP smoking. You CAN NOT stop eating. So, imho, it is the worst addiction - it must be fed, so you can live. For those of you who don't think it's such a big deal, would you insist that an alcoholic have 3 little shots of liquor a day, but critisize them for not kicking their addiction? I seriously doubt it... you'd likely think it cruel & defeatist. Yet, that is what obese people face every single day.

Many of us hold a quite rational dislike for it, thanks.

   Typing in this [Y/you] manner is an easy way to give a slight appearance of being submissive and subservient, but holds no valid meaning of a persons' real character traits.

This statement could not be more wrong.  For one thing, you don't mean "lower case" and "upper case"; you mean "minuscule" and "majuscule."  And factually you're incorrect too.  The Roman alphabet had no minuscule, and Greek minuscules developed centuries after the majuscule.

Ja, I did my share of wearing of the green, though hardly Irish. Don't know that everybody got the implication because of the immense respect being intoned throughout, but I am glad you caught it.

I come up with a floater ever so often.
