Yeah, that's why I wish there was a way for people to be able to mass-delete external content of their openID accounts as well.
That is a potential security and privacy risk. :/ It becomes much like the situation of recycled hotmail addresses which were then used by hackers to erase people's LJs (because the owner had never deauthorized the dead hotmail address, which could be used to get the password mailed to them).
Thinking of solutions:
Could ban renaming (LJ would have to do this) Could allow users to delete journals while disallowing renames Could turn off openID for all renamed journals (LJ currently doing this for renamed journals made post 7/15/10)
