If the TL;DR is about discussion than it is fine, but what like I said before about the writing skill, that is not good and I probably shouldn't have said that. But in another point if the thread has discussion and that clearly points that it has value, and most long written posts are well written value.

I understand. And you make a very good valid point. But, I am come to guess that people that write these TL;DR threads, often want to show that they have writing skills or some kind of recognition. And they write the TL;DR for people that have literature issues,lol, that don't want to take the time and read through the fine print posted.
That's my point...
These forums are not some poet's corner where people should be coming to show off their writing abilities. They are a place for discussion. So, you shouldn't really be insulted if people skim over your long, drawn-out essay, when that's not what they come here for. If that's what you come here for, you've come to the wrong place.
Just like you'd get bored of talking to a person who goes on and on without saying anything, so do people when they are faced with a wall of text on a forum that doesn't really say anything. It's not just about how many fancy words you can use. The ability to be concise is one of the most important skills when communicating.
