Is such discrimination prevelant? The only distinction I make between the two "classes" is that an uncommented change from an anon user on Recent Changes is the most likely type to be an act of vandalism. Otherwise, I don't go about reverting changes from anon users or anything of the type. I also don't see any real opportunity to "discriminate" against an anon user since such a user doesn't have a static talk page, probably doesn't belong to a mailing list and probably doesn't post much in the way of discussion.

There are many very good anon contributers who simply wish to be anonymous. If you look at the Most Active Wikipedians page, it shows around four anon contributors. And that's just the ones with static IPs. LDan
