This is the conversational equivalent of "Talk to the hand." At a time when meaningful careful communication can be established between total strangers without the interference of media gatekeepers, rather than take full advantage of such opportunity to find a new low in the way we actively refuse to even consider the potential valuable content in a communication based on the fact that we are so almighty busy that we can't even be bothered to read a few paragraphs? I can't imagine what kind of guru you would have to be to be able to get all the necessary information from brief summaries. This is exactly counterproductive to truly effective understanding, and will lead to increased resentment and misinformation running rampant. And its RUDE. It is entirely possible to skip a posted piece and deprive yourself of the potential yield of reading it, and it is entirely pointless and ignorant to slap four letters of net graffiti on someones attempt at bridging the gap between souls. This is not constructive criticism it is dismissal and belittling. Respect people who might want to read such posts by not burying under meaningless declarations of inflated ego. TL;DR is the antithesis of communication and makes me want to post a very brief two word response that is equally useful to convey my opinion of TL;DR. I think you can figure out which two words I mean, and if not then maybe it would behoove you to READ. What sort of drivel is this?? This is the conversational equivalent of “Talk to the hand.”
