I would find it embarrasing if this message were mine, so have tried
to tidy up the statement by removing errors in spelling and punctuation.

A sentence containing circa 47 words (with the word "post" repeated 5 times)
could best be described as circumlocutory, but to use a passage peppered with
grammatical error when decrying another's stupidity is merely ignorant.
