It's used so much in conversation that it has ceased to be pejorative.

I'd argue that while RTFA had negative connotations, TFA never did. It was just a humorous reference to the former.

Agreed. I think of it more as a joking reference to RTFA. The humor of this probably originates from the early slashdot days.

Hrm... Totally anecdotal but I see it used that way just frequently enough that I'm familiar with the more-general usage but not nearly frequently enough for it to feel "right".
