Bitter? Emphatically no!

Anti guest? Ditto!

It is, however, somewhat difficult to establish whether you are having a twenty post discussion with one person, or suffering twenty sniping attacks from separate individuals.

That is the main advantage of membership. We still don't know who you are in the real world, but we DO know we are talking to YOU, and not a whole bunch of others.

It's always easier that way to become a recognisable and respected poster.

The point about members logging out to make anonymous attacks is a good on, as of course it presents a negative view of the way guests behave. It might be a good idea if some of those were outed as a deterrent.
