Cutting long posts is about being polite to others, respecting them, giving them the choice instead of making it for them.
Only when the post is to a community. I'm of the mind that my blog is *mine*, and that if people don't want to deal with the length or content of the posts I make, there's a very simple way to deal with that.
I'm not speaking for kyburg here, she can do whatever she wants, but the perception that adding someone to your friends list should put any onus on them to behave differently is not appropriate, in my opinion. I sure as hell don't lj-cut things on my blog just to save my friends list.
we're talking about whether you should have to.
No, we're talking about whether or not the poster should have to, just because someone happened to add them as a friend. I don't think it's very polite to demand someone conform to a particular behavior pattern simply because I put them on my f-list.
