Agreed. I also think that Slashdot's policy of starting Anonymous comments at less karma can give most of the benefits of both sides; it would probably work even better if anonymous comments started at say -5 karma. That way, stuff that had to be anonymous but was really useful content could get voted up, but most of the anonymous internet dickwads (to borrow Penny Arcade's terminology) would stay relatively hidden from view.


If you have a user with good karma, Anonymous Coward comments on ./ doesn't get less karma (at least they didn't back when I was using it).


For the purposes of this discussion, there's very little difference between joesomenick and Anonymous Coward.
