Jackie, LJ cuts don't cut your text OFF, they put it behind a link. That means that I'll see it, and if it looks like it's going to be NSFW (or any other place and/or company I might be looking at it in), or too thinky for me to look at right now, I have the choice to bookmark it to read later. And if it's a huge political rant that will make me want to tear your head off, I can not read it and we can still stay friends because I can read the other stuff you post. There are people on my flist that I really want to know how their husband and cats are doing, and I want to read their fic, and I want to hear about their holidays and their daily lives, but the world will be a brighter place if we never ever have a discussion about how terrible the situation is in Israel, because the things they think are terrible about it are not the things I think are terrible about it, except for the parts where lots of people have died. That's all I want.
