I agree with you, OP. I don't post here anon because I think there is something wrong with my opinions or views or because I'm ashamed of myself, rather I do it because I can't trust other people's motives. Too many times on LJ I saw people stalked, ridiculed or ganged-up on by a user (and their posse) harboring an imaged and exaggerated sense of unforgivable offence over a comment

Even on FS I see certain usernames being ragged on for previous comments (one username gets called a 'rape apologist'?!?!?) with the effect that anything they have to say is disregarded and marred once some fuckface comes along and points it out

I myself tend to ignore the comments of those logged-in because I don't trust what they are saying is honest
