It's a well-known design principle to not impede the intended function of things by giving them a form that distracts from it. Of course you can deviate from that, especially if you want to make a point of some sort.

However, I presume they publish their writings so they will be read by others. Making this hard will reduce their audience.

If they are making this trade-off willingly, good for them, I suppose. But maybe they're so smitten with the style that they do not realize how hard to read it is.

There's also a point at which the form gets so bad that it starts to disrespect the audience. Again, that can be on purpose, but it might be unintentional.

This being a personal blog, it's not unreasonable to expect that a main purpose of it is communication. I think it's warranted to draw attention to the fact that its design gets in the way of that goal, big time.
