As someone who participates in both Japanese and English speaking forums, the lack of communication skills by native English speakers is much more glaringly obvious. There is not the "I'm just lazee" factor in Japanese that is a barrier to communication.

Of course, Japanese has short-cuts, slang, etc. But for these are more...how can I say?...organized than the "I am YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!" type chimpanzee-with-a-keyboard posts we see even here on JF.
