The only time I have stopped people is when they are going to use broken equipment that is not tagged out. That is it. I dont bother people as I do not want to be bothered. It is still January, the individual you discuss is likely a resolution maker and will probably be out of gym mode in a few weeks, besides I agree that most people will not be receptive to unsolicited assistance.
I constantly see individuals in the gym performing an exercise in a grossly unsafe manner. I do not consider this a matter of just deserts, its not a moral thing, people could get a coach that can assist them in getting technique and experience that will allow them to push themselves within the boundaries of maintaining a safe form.
