Annnd... it's gone.
So... that was fun.
The verdict: we've pulled the facebook / twitter login option. After all of the intense discussion, there was one argument that really struck a cord with us. It was presented in different ways by a couple of members but here's the basic idea...
This is the Gulch. If you don't know why you're here, enough to know why you WANT to create a Gulch account, you're probably in the wrong place. Can you imagine someone showing up here, having just finished reading the book, saying to themselves,"Oh maannnn... I need to create an account!? I wish I could just sign up with my facebook account. I guess I'll just leave."
No? Me neither.
Thanks to all of you who joined in the discussion. It was a heated battle ultimately fought to protect the integrity of an idea. And, we're glad to report, the idea won.
This is Galt's Gulch.

Well said! And Thank You!
(Your opening line was perfection. LOL)
This is Galt's Gulch, and it's a great place to come and exchange thoughts, diatribes, etc, knowing you're sharing with people of like mind and values, whether you've shrugged, are thinking about it, or admire those who have. Thanks for the post, and the place. NMA
Judicious and magnanimous…
I hope it doesn’t adversely affect your prospects.
Splendid Rand quote.
Respectfully,
O.A.
