I agree with your criticism and downmodded you for TL;DR, because it is the intellectual equivalent of barbarians at the gate.

You hate to say it. The next guy will think he's subverting the meme. The third guy will think it is funny. The fourth guy will do it because he thinks the site expects someone to say it. And he will be right.

Fair enough :-) I shan't do it again - hesitated to do it even this once!

A small positive from the "TL;DR" post: It finally occurred to me to do a bit of research and find out what it stands for. Now I have a greater understanding of why I get a slummy feeling when I see it.

Your comment is eerily similar to Yegge's complaint about Reddit.
