That thought experiment is interesting. Both end results could be abused. As for the rest, I err on the side of anonymity.

I just don't want Poal to turn into a place where you're having a conversation and then some dick comes in and says, "Ya, well, you upvoted this post, so that must mean you actually think this, you such and such."
