Bearing in mind that I know Warren was just joking...
I assume he's referring to the attitude of, "You haven't cleared it yet? You suck, GTFO n00b" that some people (not anyone on this thread!) have. You see it these days in "bonus = kick" groups in PF, DF groups where people leave the moment they see a bonus message, the toxic alliance chat in CT and ST, and the like.
It's the reason why I don't tank in level 50 PUGs unless I come with a group that makes up the majority of the required party, why I don't do anything in PF, and increasingly why I won't even heal DR Expert (because even if the tank pulls 3 groups in minimum item level gear for the instance and refuses to use cooldowns, or the ranged DPS stands in the middle of the fight and gets obliterated by AEs, it's "your fault n00b healer, GTFO and DIAF").
I haven't cleared anything past T3, but there's no way in hell I'm going to DF or PF it -- for the attitude being parodied by Warren is all too real there, and not something I have the desire or motivation to deal with.
"Most people either say fine they'll help me (thank you lolnin frenzy) or they just shut up and pray we clear.
