It's a convention (a meme?), along the lines of "read the manual" being rendered as "RTFM".
In online discourse it is common for people to ask questions or make statements without reading the reference material being discussed. This is frustrating to other commenters who feel that a lot of the discussion is needless and effectively off-topic. Hence the aggression in the acronym is partly a joke that this is such a common occurrence that the expletive itself is part of the acronym. It's definitely not meant to be taken personally. Mostly.
