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.
