But then I told myself off. One has to look beyond the punctuation and spelling, and read the underlying message. Having been on the pointy end of the gentrification stick myself (yes, I'm looking at you St. Kilda) I feel the greatest sympathy for those upset by the present population displacements.

I'm not clear on this one... Do you think the message is deliberately written with errors to make a point, or would it be a genuine mistake?
I've tied myself in knots over this one. Is it a cunning trap baited to deliberately catch the attention of passing pedants and enrage them? Is it truly a protest from someone who sadly can't spell? Is the bad grammar a meta-message incorporated to highlight the plight of dislocated locals? It's a conundrum.
