I think that then comes down to the skill of the writer. Ideally, before deciding whether or not to crosspost tweets to LJ, it would be nice if the writer thought "in general, if a day's tweets were lumped together would they be interesting to a reader?" If the signal-to-noise ratio was good enough to keep the pleasure in reading, I'd keep reading; if not, not. But whether I read or not is up to me, it's not up to me what someone else posts - if I find their posts boring (whether re-tweets or original posts) I'll stop reading them, but I shouldn't try to stop them writing them.

I suspect that a brilliant writer could make The Hobbit in text message format utterly gripping and fascinating!

I just don't want to say "no-one must ever post their tweets on LJ" because I'm sure some people's cross-posted tweets will be entertaining. I'd rather suggest that if your posts are boring you might wonder about whether or not to post them, whatever the posts are. But when it comes down to it, it's up to the writer what to write and up to the reader what to read.
