Well, the policy, as stated in the FAQ, is this:

From now on, anonymous posting will be watched and controlled. We've had far too many problems with anonymous posters. If you want to post, use a consistent name. We're not requiring registration, although we certainly prefer that. You may certainly use a pseudonym as a user name, but please use that same name every time you post.

For a number of reasons, I did not specify the implications of "controlled," because we do leave some anonymous posts undeleted for a variety of reasons. In general, though, if you post without a consistent poster name, you stand a good chance of being deleted.

"For now" says this:

currently the technology is not in place for securing a guest user name; how then can it be rude not to use one?

I suppose the technology exists to compel the manufacture of cars that won't go over the speed limit, but it's not in place. However, they still give speeding tickets, despite the fact that they haven't made speeding impossible.

So, "for now," I guess what I'm saying is that there seems to be a logical error in your argument.
