When we started this blog, we took a chance by deciding to let people post things anonymously, hoping people would hold to our request to be temperate. Unfortunately, that has not happened and some, but not all, have used "anonymous" as a blind for mere sniping. In hopes of raising the tone and getting a more civilized conversation going, we're not going to post anonymous comments anymore. We will continue to be generous in our scope for comment, but doggerel has no place here.

Fair enough -- if anonymity is gone, could we have unmoderated comments? The blogosphere never sleeps.
pulling anonymous comments that had already been accepted thru your own editorial filter moderation is wrong. if you didn't want anonymous comments you shopuld have said so up front, never accepted them. and if you don't want them now you should remove the option on the "leave your comment' section. How about a little editorial consistency here?
And let's be serious: some people might know me, but "matt" is still pretty anonymous.
