Collapse is much more awesome than force-cut, and I was
exaggerating slightly when I said "three paragraphs" (although I
know some people who write REALLY long paragraphs).

But the only time I ever had to break a post up into multiple
posts on LJ (for Lightningwar) it was 38 pages long in my word
processor.  It fit into two posts with no problem.

You can get 16-20 single spaced pages of 12 point text with
fairly small margins into a single LJ post, and DW posts can be
even longer than that.

Can you imagine what a post that size would do to your reading
page, uncut?  Particularly if it was written by someone who was
very angry about some controversial topic and wanted to MAKE YOU
READ IT OMG?

There really is a point at which there should be a force-cut,
because otherwise there will be unnecessary
defriending/unsubscribing.  Even if you totally agree with me
about $ISSUE, even if it's fic and it's the best one you ever
read, do you really want 30+ pages of text on your reading page
in a single post?
