TL;DR — !<\/p>\n

TL;DR means “I’m Proudly, Intentionally-Stupid !<\/em><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Proud

Proud to be Ignorant Non-Reader of Books<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

What an embarrassing Admission !<\/p>\n

Someone eagerly declaring their willful ignorance. ! ? !<\/p>\n

They admit they didn’t read the article (or comment, or book) so there is zero doubt that they do not know what it describes or explains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet they have a strong opinion about – what ever it is that they don’t know !<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe they would even agree with the article’s point, but we’ll never know. And neither will they.<\/p>\n

Sure, we live in an age of information overload or infobesity.<\/strong><\/em><\/a>
\nAnd some writers can’t get to the point, or they duplicate their explanation.<\/p>\n

However, when someone declares<\/strong> they did not even read the article they expectorate an opinion on – how much dumber can they get?<\/p>\n

And then there’s the matter of how it is an insult to the writer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, we have a self-declared Ignoramus who insults writers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you imagine a bigger Red Flag<\/span> to “Swipe Left?”<\/p>\n
