LJ cuts--do you care?

I just got lightly thwapped for posting longish pieces to my lj without using cuts. Is there a consensus about cuts for length being desirable?
Do you care personally? If so, how long is too long?

Re: TheFerrett on cut tags

He doesn't come across as an asshole to me, but he does come across as somewhat loudmouthed, so I can understand a differing opinion there. But the reason I read him is that I find him usually entertaining, frequently insightful (and when he gets something terribly wrong, there's usually good food for thought in the comments from people telling him so), and fairly often both at the same time. His motivation isn't as important to me as his results.

Obviously whether one takes the advice given in a post specifically about how to become more popular is going to depend on one's own goals for one's journal, but the general observations there about cut tags are interesting and good to know, even if they're incomplete or one-sided. I am not saying, "you should do this because TheFerrett says so." I am saying, "he makes some interesting points that I think are important to be consider when making up one's own mind.

It's good to read the comments disagreeing with him on that point, as well.
