From BrowserUk's signature:

"Examine what is said, not who speaks."

That's good advice. So would be: "Vote on what is said, not who speaks."

Voting should be a way to express your approval or disapproval of a node's content, not the node's author. Rewarding or punishing the node's author should be seen for what it is: a side-effect. In fact, voting on a node is not guaranteed to change the author's XP anyway.

If you want to show your diapproval of posting anonymously, and you want to do that by withholding your votes, that's fine. There are, however, plenty of people (myself included) that do vote on AM posts. And that's unlikely to change.

By the way, voting based on the author (a.k.a. "personality voting") is frowned upon.

P.S. What's with the phone number? Posting another monk's personal information is a big no-no... I hope she asked you to include her number.
