I have to chime in and agree here. A journal/blog is a little more than its contents; it's also about presentation and how the writer wants their words to be seen. For example: there are times when I feel really strongly about an issue and don't want to put my post about it behind a cut tag even though my post may be a little long. If that ends up with people taking me off their circles, well that's their decision. Of course, like other people, I kind of roll my eyes when people on my reading list post pic spams without cutting them, but if they do it a lot, I have the option to either not read them at all, or put them in a filter. I just don't think it's my place to tell someone how to present their content. Ruth -- The worst sin -- perhaps the only sin -- passion can commit, is to be joyless. - Dorothy L.
