This blog post is incredibly long.

It's not. It's really not. I don't know whether to feel slighted that the author assumes my attention span is so pitiful, or bemused that the author feels the need to mention the length of the post at all. I suppose someone who feels the need to open a post with the new hip way of saying "Summary" or "Abstract" has already given up on his audience anyway.

Given how it is mentioned at the outset and conclusion, I almost have to think it's stated ironically or something.

Indeed. Instead of being encouraging, it ends up sounding condescending.
