"but the evidence"

What evidence? You haven't shown any. I personally don't care if someone posts anonymously or not, I'll treat the same way. For the purposes of on going communications and joining associating one post/problem report with another (by user name) that's certainly a benefit. However it's trivial for someone to create a throw away account for whatever purpose they have in mind.

To me this statement seems baseless and senseless, baseless in that you don't provide any evidence to back up your claim, and senseless in that it's rather a moot point as anyone could create a second throw away account in order to post while not tarnishing their reputation associated with their real account, should that be their agenda. While the latter is again the house rules, I don't believe this one is easily enforced.

Your statement I quoted is a theory, not a fact. You don't qualify this at all, you then talk of evidence then say:

"I have no rigorous proof to offer and in any case don't feel that one is required of me.

So on the one hand it's unacceptable for people to post (anonymously or not) anything you consider counter productive but it's ok for you to make claims of evidence, then say you have no proof and don't feel you need to provide any? I find this somewhat confusing and contradictory.

In the interests of clarity IMHO it'd be safer to differentiate fact from opinion, and not to make claims to have seen evidence then not be able to produce it.
