An unpopular decision, but I think it is correct.  I see _no_ reason for these
anonymous accounts, even though many of them are quite normal people that post
things that are perfectly acceptable.

however, I wouldn't let you into my house with a sack over your head, and I
think that the abuse here is more than enough justification to simply say
"enough".  If someone is afraid of revealing their true ID, then perhaps that
alone is enough reason to be wary of them?
