You're just a whiney old bigoted prick that doesn't like being pulled up over what you are.

I think when you tell people that you either log in or you can't post, most will log in. The reason they don't here is because they don't have to.

Posting on the internet using an avatar still lets you build up a personality, it becomes familiar, a persona, you're accountable for what you say. A 'guest' post removes that. People are already removed from real life social responsibility for what they say by using avatars but guest posting removes another layer of responsibility or accountability. Being anonymous but using an avatar lets you build up a personality, it could be your genuine self, your best self,or your worst self, but an anonymous account (guest) only really benefits you if you want to say something that's illegal or would have negative effects on your social capital because even in an anonymous world you still have social capital with an avatar.
If someone provides some insightful critique then being anonymous means they've given up positive social capital but if someone is being venomous then being anonymous means they aren't held accountable for what they've said - deindividuation allows people to say things they otherwise wouldn't. In some cases this is benificial i.e. wikileaks but on a regular forum, especially one such as this with practically no rules, it basically allows someone to verbally abuse others without consequences. You might say this means people are free to speak their mind but when you're in a world where people are already free to create an anonymous persona then why would an extra layer of anonymity be necessary?
Also, unban plox.

Dinky could be alright. Did he get banned for posting links to Brietbart (sp?) or something?

Yes after the site url was censored.
Death by mod. I've let him back now but really, don't piss off the admin.
