I like the option of clicking somewhere on an individual post to collapse
that post -- but I'd want it to apply to ALL posts, not just those over a
certain length. That'd deal with LoudTwitter, long posts, graphics of any
kind, and short posts that put offensive content up front.

I'd still prefer functionality like this to show the complete post and allow
readers to collapse it, rather than auto-collapsing.

(For the record, even if an auto-collapse or auto-cut were instituted, I
wouldn't consider it censorship. An unnecessary pain in the ass to write
around and disproportionately beneficial to people who do *not* want to read
what I've written, maybe, but not censorship.)
