Keep in mind that the OP was written while fresh in the official's mind and he no doubt was eager to get feedback from people who could understand what's it's like to be the loneliest person in the gym, even if they disagreed with aspects of how it was handled. So the fact that his words spilled out in a torrent is understandable and reflects the situation.

In this context, complaints about his formatting of the written post are out of line. Whack!
A story will be heard by far more people if it is presented in a readable format. There may be many that never get past the first line due to the presentation...I didn't. How effective is the post if people close it on sight without knowing what was in it. If there is a story to tell, tell it...but make it accessible.
