(Hope this doesn't count as a necropost x.x)
It's quite subjective. For a while I used to just tough it out, but have come to realise: "Wait, if I'm not enjoying this, why am I wasting my time putting effort in? I'm not a charity."
So basically my policy is this. If the spelling/grammar is bad enough that it takes me out of the scene, I'll stop, and tell my partner why. If I don't think enough effort/detail is being put into my partner's posts, i.e. I give them, 3/4 lines with really nice detail on stuff and things, and they reply with 1 line that doesn't even include an adjective, I'll stop and tell them why. I will never just "poof" on my partner, because that's not how I would want to be treated if I wasn't satisfying my partner. Everything is about mutual enjoyment, if one of us isn't having fun, it's not worth doing.
In simple terms, I try not to be a dick about it, everyone has different writing skill levels, and if someone were to ask me for help with their writing I'd gladly assist. I just don't bother wasting my time RPing with people that aren't going to satisfy me.

You see I play the character the whole way through and well the story kind of went in a direction I didn't like but I sucked it up and just played along till the end. Well then I tell the person the truth and pass if off as my fault and telling them I hope they had a good time....What I get is them asking why i didn't speak up and break character before complete silence and I'm pretty sure they are pissed at me. What should i have done? And just wondering how do you tell if you are blocked? I sent an apology but no way to know if it went through?
What you should have done is told your partner when the scene was taking a direction you didn't like. No self-respecting person should get mad at you for speaking up that they're doing something you don't like. Though it helps to establish "yes"es and "no"s before you start the scene. Either that, or be
really confident you know your partner well enough that they wouldn't do something you don't like.
