I do not think that when making these anonymous submissions that rep comes into the thought process 99% of time.  Like everyone has said it is to avoid unwarranted harassment or targeting, because not everyone is ok with getting ganged up on when going against the grain.  This entire thread is more than enough evidence that there needs to be a way to anonymously submit feedback. I mean just look at the sheer effort that has gone into attempting to expose/degrade a person who has wanted to stay anonymous.  Y'all have all but outright asked who the person is.

Whether or not the feedback is warranted is up to the admin to decide, because none of us have the entire context of this discussion or even who sent that Brian.  Fear of being instantly dismissed as unfounded without the chance to provide evidence could easily have been the exact reason why this person submitted this anonymously.  But none of us can say for sure, however, I believe that since Bryan has infinitely more context than us and chose to include it shows that there is merit behind it.

edit: Even by just declaring it a "toxic closed-ended response" you have already passed judgement on the character of the person who posted it. Hopefully you can see how when you speak in absolutes that denigrate the character of a person attempting to give their personal experience/feedback, you are most likely creating the exact situation that person wanted to avoid when they posted anonymously.
