Because it does not make sense to introduce delays to stiffle discussion. Throw-away accounts are used to say things one does not want associated with "main" account; in my case the "main" account is easily doxxable and I knew the things I wanted to say are not going to be popular. I don't care if site mods have access to the logs and can use IP address to add 2 and 2; I just don't want that post above to be associated with my real name forever, via simple google search. I'll have to look for a new job soon, if layoffs continue at the present pace.

I would be happy to have this discussion face to face without having to hide behind an anonymous account but the rules for in-person debates do not apply on the Internet forums.
