If answerbag is a tolerant community, is it impolite to dismiss or flag the questions of a user who obviously has difficulty with spelling or grammar?

No its not, English is not everyones first language and we should remember that :-)

this is a fairly intolerant, tolerant community

It would be proper to flag such questions only if they are complete nonsense. Otherwise, what exactly would be the basis? Still, one can suggest that they improve their communication by addressing spelling and grammar problems WITHOUT flagging the question. Or even giving it a point or two. lol

Wht? Lik evry1 spels al gooderer and stuf! (took me like 5 minutes to type that out)

OK. Then, how about, "Yes, it is! English is not everyone's first language and we should remember that :-)"
-
I wouldn't do that. They're not hurting, offending or bothering anybody. Poor spelling is often times a good source of amusement
-
Questions that actually ask for some information, even though replete with spelling and grammatical errors, will not be removed from the system. Users who flag such questions will receive an "Answerbag moderation flag was not approved" email.

I think if one can understand the meaning of a question, it is pedantic to point out the mistake and certainly wrong to flag it.
