To reduce the number of fake accounts (and therefore trolling and spam). Anonymous posting (ie without a verified email address) is allowed - but can be moderated separately - and more stringently than non-anonymous accounts. Also, if you only have one email address and set up an account and then proceed to flame/troll-bait the blog, your account (and therefore email address) can be blocked... and you will no longer be welcome to post except by going through the anonymous channel (which, as I mentioned before, will be more stringently checked). In a perfect world ie one that did not contain trolls or flamers... such as once existed on ye ancient olde usenet (honest, there was a time when it wasn't full of trolls!) such tactics were not required...
