Seriously, every time I think I can't work up the energy to boggle anymore, LJ proves me wrong

In light of LJ's latest fuck-up (i.e., the one where they completely undermined ALL the privacy, being that people can now crosspost their comments to your LOCKED posts to their facebooks and twitters,) I thought I would note that I would appreciate it if none of you crossposted any of your comments to my entries. Of course, it goes without saying that I don't want anyone crossposting their comments to my occasional locked posts; most of my journal is open, however, and while linking to my posts and quoting your own words elsewhere is obviously okay, I do not want my fannish activities on the stupid-ass facesbooks, so kindly don't spread it there for me.

What I don't understand is why anyone thought that this would be a good idea. I mean, did nobody stop and say, "hold up guys, won't this lead to massive breaches of privacy? Aren't our users going to complain about that?" NOBODY???

And this isn't even touching on the fact that I can no longer tab+enter to post a comment. Oh my GOD you guys, this is so annoying I can't even. If I slip and do it on instinct, I end up on my account settings, and when I backspace, my comment field is wiped. :E I also hear that having the boxes above the post button like that is causing accessibility issues for people with various disabilities.

ETA: Oh my god, LJ. The pingback feature also can post text from locked posts.

Anyway, since a lot of people are irritated (again) I thought I'd offer up some DW invite codes, since I've got a bunch. Can I just post them here and you guys use them at will? Does that like, work? Well, if it doesn't, just comment with your email address and I'll send you an invite. If it does, it'd be nice if you dropped a comment letting me know which code you took so I can cross it off, but it's not imperative or anything.
