Dear All,

On DW I'm, ahem, "removing from my circle" all my Open ID people who also have a DW account. My assumption is that if you need to access flocked posts on my DW and you have a DW account, then you will use that.

If that's not true of you, let me know I will happily add your Open ID account back into my circle.

I...have no idea what this means. Which just goes to show how little I use DW. Does this mean that people who primarily use LJ no longer have access to your DW? What's Open ID?

Oh! Open ID is the handy feature that allows a signed-in LJ user to comment on DW posts and get access to locked posts (if they're on the filter for that post). In particular, if someone imports their journal and comments to DW, all the comments from LJ users are imported in using Open ID (which means the commenter can still edit/delete the comment just as if it were on LJ).

Basically, in terms of reading and commenting, it functions a lot like a DW account, only I believe it works on a variety of platforms, not just DW.

What I've done is basically unfriended all the Open ID accounts that belong to people who also have a DW account. So I unfriended your Open ID, for example, because you have a DW account and can presumably log into it to view any flocked DW entries that you feel like viewing. That's really all it affects, I think.

Does that feel rude and horrible? I suppose it could be a problem if a person had forgotten their DW login info...

Oh, okay, that makes sense! I understand what you're talking about. Thanks!

Meh, I don't think it's rude and horrible; you're giving notice so people can ask to be added back.
