I don't think we should be too harsh about that sort of thing. It's hard for people to learn how to have deep insights or how to communicate them if we are hyper critical of everything that isn't a perfectly formed nugget of transcendental genius. People need a bit of license to be over-excited about their own insights or over-optimistic or slightly prententious as they work out their voice. Sure, it's annoying, and taken too far it can be very unpleasant, but it's also probably a necessary part of learning to do and share anything creative.
