Does that explain my point of view better?

I see your point, but I feel the same as the OP. I very rarely vote AM posts. I sometimes don't upvote nodes I know will have high reputation anyhow. I often upvotes posts from Monks I like, whatever it's about. BrowserUk says he upvotes all of Abigail's posts, too, so obviously who the post comes from is definetely important to many.
Everyone follows (his|her) motivations to select what to (up|down)vote for; if many people do care about whom post it is, then may be should we consider altering the way AM posts reputation work (I personnally think voting for AM posts could be "free", it would be pretty nice).

    Well, that proves there are some users who vote more hesitatingly on Anonymonk posts. Can we generalise to all users from that?

      Did I? I'm just arguing that as some do, perhaps should it be considered to alter the voting policy to adapt it a bit more to the way people use it.

        A voting policy adaption would affect all users, wouldn’t it?
