Tomasz never said this. He said anonymous users

but the way you communicate is becoming irritating.
It is to afford them more respect when we contort our policy to
minimize effort for them while maximizing the effort for our more
established editors.
I have a hard time listening to people who make loud an emotional
complaints about exclusion when we talk about registration, because
it's patently untrue. Registration excludes no one. If you want to
argue on the basis of more complicated editing/uploading dissuading
new people from discovering the joy of contributing then I can follow
that argument.. But to claim that we're discussion a policy of
exclusion? Thats just trolling.
We should discontinue using the word 'anonymous' for non-registered
users, because they are among the least anonymous users on the system.
Hoi,
When registration excludes no-one it means that those people that do
have a reason not to register an e-mail address are excluded. There are
such people. It is fine for you not to see the arguments of others, you
paint yourself in a corner however by calling these other names. It does
not make your argument sympathetic, far from it, it hurts your cause.
Thanks,
