The only purpose of that language is to say we’ve got the right to host your site or app; the goal here was that people can’t say “I didn’t expect them to host the content I submitted”, because that does actually happen sometimes.

Actually, that's kiiiinda great. We should definitely build that into ThinkUp. :)

Oh yeah, them dudes have hated me for ages. If I had a nickel for every time they've angrily fumed at me, I could buy all their bitcoins.

I addressed that in the article. I've specifically tried to raise the voices of people from the trans* community where possible, and lamented that I don't have ways of knowing how to do more yet, due to technology restrictions. (Except of course in cases where a trans* person chooses to not have that be part of their…

Great post. Since I work at Six Apart, where OpenID was born, I should point out that every TypeKey account is an OpenID as well — and we're supporting OpenID in all our platforms: Movable Type, TypePad, LiveJournal and Vox.
