What is TL;DR - A Series of Habits

e.g. Long Text Obfuscation
(deliberate use as a weapon or trick against others to build walls / rules / punishment programs using layers of text / paperwork as a buffers from the bullies / abusers who would like to distance themselves from their targets and keep hands clean using middle-men enforcers)

e.g. Legal Construct / Legalese /
(same as above but used against people by demanding more time and intelligence to understand AND/OR requirement to use expensive lawyers who always swear allegiance to the 'Court' or authority they are a member of + often also play an inside game / collude internally / can be bought)

e.g. Complicated Computer Code (a mix between user and developers code to lock others out - not always intentional but can end up being 'for the people' but unusable 'by the people')

All the above have a mixture of...

a) natural complication in understanding / transferring any theory or practical, which can naturally reduce tolerance or add a higher boundary to jump in any understanding but helps *when readers continue even if they don't know why it's useful* and seeing how believing it's worth reading actually can get them there in the end... (like teenager that doesn't want to start anything and then suddenly is all in to it and doesn't want your help any more).

b) deliberate layering to hide / nest intentions and trick people / make it more demanding / exhaust people effectively weaponising it against people from those creating and those unable to effect or have a say.

(which still doesn't mean it's ok to not to read or not to at least acknowledge a problem / deliberate tactic because it needs dealing with / incrementing in life and *NOT* ABONDONING*)
