First of all, I'm not a native speaker. Then I think this writing style is much more appealing and thought to warn those who can't cope with it.

If people here are unable to interpret colloquial language, then they might want to learn it.

Interesting tension in that you seem to attribute your lack of clarity to being a non-native speaker, and then defend yourself as speaking colloquially. Other non-native speakers here do not seem to have these problems.

Perhaps we should start non-English versions of Less Wrong, so that people who are incapable of communicating clearly and effectively in English have somewhere else to post.

I have seriously considered posting to propose this.
