It's also probably the most obnoxious acronym I've ever seen.

The only appropriate time for replying with this, instead of just not replying, is when trolling.

Sorry if I offend all those who love it so.

If you start to read a post and see that it is A) full of BS and B) really long then it is a good time to use TL;DR

I considering offering that one, but then thought the same thing as you: it just means "no", and really it's only slightly on the obnoxious side of neutral.
