No, he doesn't have an excellent point.  How does his identity have
anything to do with his arguments?  One does not need to include
their phone number, address, and social security number to be permitted
to offer their opinion on some random topic.  There are plenty of people
on this list (and plenty of other lists) who don't paste their real name
all over the place.  Does that make their opinion somehow less valuable?
No.  It doesn't.

So please, if you have a beef with the content, cool.  There's no need
to attack the fact that they haven't presented their drivers license to
you.
