Like I said, because the formatting makes the post look like a cheesy, hype-laden, over-the-top sales letter.

I can't help it, I'm instinctively turned off by any message presented this way. And it makes me automatically assume you're just here to sell something and you're cutting and pasting your email newsletters into forum posts, or something like that.

Also, I find the 'sales letter' phrasing irritating to read, it's not just the way it looks.
