Your argument is a perfect example of my point: why would any pro-anonymity
site call anonymous posters "cowards"? Otherwise, I can only wonder how
you've missed the interminable "Let's ban all the anonymous posters now!"
discussions which come up every few weeks, normally with backing from those
who run the site. Take a look through their archives sometime.
