Re: beating the big NL games..
I don't play that high, so I don't have an opinion on whether it's ruining the game. If you're bothered by the prevalence of short stacks then write to your favorite online site or cardroom rather than complaining about it.

Maybe you should reread a couple of those 5 million posts so you can grasp this concept.

I understand perfectly well why it could be a good move to call a raise with a speculative hand then let go of it when a short-stack pushes behind you. (If the call was already marginal, as it would be with 86s except against a bad postflop player with fairly deep stacks, then the prospect of action behind could certainly make the original call of the raise unprofitable, just given the slight probability you're going to have to dump your hand. Furthermore, depending on stack sizes, it might be right to fold to a deeper stack's reraise too.)
What I don't understand is why you seem to feel so aggrieved, as though your opponents are obligated to give up playing in a way that makes them money. It's the sense of entitlement I don't get, not the frustration.
If you don't like the rules, try to get the rules changed. Don't blame someone for playing their best within the rules.
