TL;DR = Too Lazy; Did Reply
Dec. 27th, 2008 03:09 pmSo I got my first accusation of TL:DR the other day. I googled it to find out what obscure piece of internet jargon this was. Here's what Anil Dash says:
One of the great, definitive abbreviations for the social web is TL;DR. It stands for too long; didn't read, and epitomizes the short-attention-span crowd, the willfully idiotic segment of the online population

Yet people who lazily type these five characters are replying to a post they, by their own admission, haven't read. They're saying they're too lazy to bother reading the discussion but they are going to disagree anyway. That isn't just lazy, it's ignorant and plain rude.
So how about TL;DR= DC
If you're not willing to read, then don't comment.
Because if you're not interested in what someone has written, why do you have to tell them so, and why the hell do they care what you think anymore?
