I think if you stopped using Disqus and just used normal Wordpress comments on the blog, this discussion could start happening on your post.
What's wrong with Disqus?
The part where it wants an account. I mean disqus will let users use other logins, but it is a hassle. The default Wordpress solution of offering a Name, email, and url box seems like spam bait, but a blog operator only needs to get an Askimet API key once to avoid the comment spam deluge.
Then there's the part where Disqus helps to facilitate cross domain web tracking, and is rather privacy unfriendly in ways beyond that.
As a downside for you, they host your comments rather than you and you lose the comments on your content if they fail
Disqus lets you post as a guess though, with a name and email...
Honestly I haven't seen what the disqus interface looks like in a long time since I've blocked it with NoScript because it is a tracking bug (I do the same with Google Analytics).
I guess I cleared some things up.
Yeah. Doesn't mean I'm unblocking Disqus's javascript though.
Honestly I think the article would be stronger if you took an authoritative line criticizing RealSolid. I kind of want to heap a lot of RealSolid hate in the comment section, but for me and many others Disqus is a no-go. It would be like having Google Analytics on the trading pages of an exchange site.
