 Who actually thinks Mandatory Identification is a good idea? When I
 was proposing it, I didn't think it would be such a big problem for
 everybody, but now it seems we should just repeal it. What do you
 think?

I supported it precisely because I thought it would end up in a mess
like the one we have at the moment; in other words, I wanted to see what
would happen. And as for what would happen, I'm not certain it's stopped
happening yet.

You definitely have a case there.

Just thinking out loud, my counterargument might be that, if we assume 
from recent rule changes that we're heading away from the society 
metaphor and towards the game metaphor, that a referee fits the 
common definition of a judge for the game.   Also that keeping track 
of wrongdoing makes it clear that we're talking about judging players
formally.
