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?
