Anonymity in speech, IMO, has it place too, though standing behind what you write does too.
I agree.

I see the other side as well, but if you're going to go past a certain point to voice your opinion and putting someone else on the chopping block, I feel your name should be attached to it. It's only right that the other person is able to know who he's defending himself to (in my opinion). I also feel throwing comments of someones personal appearance for no reason is immature and serves no purpose. That's a 2nd grade approach when you've run out of things to say.
