Until LJ gets their heads out of their asses and add a setting to opt your journal and comments there out of being shared, please do not repost any comments made in my LJ to Facebook or Twitter. (See the latest post in news.)

[Edit: A comment over in the news post is pretty much exactly my position too:

I don't mind the option to cross-post to my Facebook, as I often do like my LJ entries posted to my FB account.

However, like about a million other people here, I do NOT want any comments made to my friends-locked entries to appear ANYWHERE on Facebook. (If that is the case, your explanation of the feature is amazingly unclear.)

I don't care about pingbacks, I have that enabled here. What I'm talking about is the "Repost to Facebook/Twitter" checkboxes.

[Edit:] Pingbacks are just trackbacks, so I don't think that setting will disable the "Repost to" settings. You have to connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts to LJ to crosspost, but once you do that you can repost any of your comments, including comments to locked posts.
