I agreed with you until the last line. Weeding out intentionally bad commentary must never be done at the cost of quality commentary.

For comment systems with both anonymous and non-anonymous commenting (Disqus, LiveFyre), it's very rare (from my experience) that the valuable comments are made by anonymous people.

Most people don't object to providing their identity, but those who do are silenced if there is no anonymous option. It's not worth silencing them, IMO.
