A week later, the longmont police visited this person and told him to "tone it down". I would imagine having a couple guys with hands on their guns at your doorstep would convince you to post anonymously.

Anyway, my $.02 is that anon comments are good, in general. I like blogging as a way to discuss issues and learn from others opinions. For anyone to use a blog as the sole source of information is a bad thing, but blogs can provide links to sources and guide a person to good/bad information.

The cloak of anonymity emboldens people to say what they otherwise would not. This is a bad thing, as we have seen, and it is a good thing, as we have seen. But it is the best representation of public opinion available.
