I hate the quoting of someone's post and just saying "This." on a reply.

The TLDR isnt really an issue unless thats all they post. If they say TLDR and then add a thought that may or may not be relevant then it might contribute something to the discussion.

The use of win, epic, and fail all needs to just end. DIAF is something I've hardly ever seen on the Internet. Hell, I've said it more times in real life (yes, I am a bad person) then I've seen it on the Internet.

The only decent use for tl;dr is at the end of a very long post to sum it up. The only time I really use the wow one is after a spectacularly dumb or crazy post.

But I'm serious about the use of fail. I may not be able to hold in punching someone in the face if they ever use this in front of me in real life. It would be too gratifying after all the times I've wanted to assault someone over the Internet for using it.

Actually, I was talking more about the comments on the Fark thread, making fun of the article.

Those were fun, too, just didn't have anything to say about them.

I did like that one of the first ones were TLDR, though.
