Knowing more about other editors has always helped me working with them, so there's at least one counter-datapoint. For instance, I found trying to reason with Wik to be very difficult because nobody knew anything about him, and so we couldn't figure out whether he was stubborn on principle, extremely immature, mentally ill, or what.
I seem to recall something to the effect of "please create a user account so we know who we're talking to" being written on a lot of IP address talk pages, too.
