Anonymous guests cannot be held accountable for their reasoning in any disputation, because they can always say "that wasn't me."

Anonymous guests cannot be held accountable for flaming or provocation for the same reason.

Anonymous guests who do not require being held accountable for either of these two reasons find themselves respected and treated accordingly.

Anonymous guests who post provocative, inflammatory, or absurd posts find themselves despised both for the offending post, and for being un-hold-accountable (if you will).

I fail to see how this is in any way dysfunctional.
