I'd really like to see some URLs for this - as far as I was aware the
only public negative commentary was here - and even that wasn't very
strongly worded:

As someone who is a big proponent of the idea of OpenIDs from
different providers  meaning different things I would be very
interested in hearing the arguments against.
