When people write "I" in their claims, rather than using their OpenID, it should be assumed that "I" refers to the voter.

I love this claim. I love it every time I see it. Is there any way to make this sticky? No, I'm on the level, we don't need another rehash of pronouns.
And in the future, people who want to make a claim that involves the voter, like "I am not virgin" and it requires the voter to vote for him or herself, then the claimant must use "You" instead of "I".
Thus: "You are not virgin".
Why must they do that, Rick? I think "I" is perfectly clear.
Has this actually become a problem yet?
Yes.
The only way to separate the claimant from the rest of the voters is to name him/her with the OpenID. It would be nice to have a "/me" shortcut or something similar to do this though.

Oscar J Carlton IV is right; there should be some kind of shortcut for "my own openid" in claimsOr you could use the word "You" if you want to refer to the voter.
You could, but that would be ambiguous.
