Anonymity comes with a price though. You don't have any sort of reputation to build on when making claims about other people. If you want people to have more of a reason to believe what you say, putting your name on it should carry more weight. That should be the balance here.

You can build an anonymous reputation around a pseudonym.

That's not completely anonymous. Building up a reputation around a pseudonym increases the likelihood of something unmasking you.
