I'm a native English speaker, and even *I* find it very difficult to read 
that kind of writing. It's bad enough that I usually just don't even bother 
to try to read it and just move on to the next post/web-page/etc. There's 
plenty of things out there written with *good* language that it's just not 
worthwhile to waste time on the poorly-written stuff. Therefore, I see bad 
language like that as an effective way to make people not even listen to 
you.
