"You Own Your Own Words" originated on The Well which didn't (still doesn't?) have anonymous accounts.
All the accounts on The Well were paid accounts, it was fairly easy to track down who was actually saying what. On yr average WordPress blog it's very very hard if not impossible to prevent people posting anonymously.
In the context of O'Reilly's Code of Conduct unless you're prepared to vet every post before it appears publically I don't see how you can possibly take responsibility for what appears.

O'Reilly lost me with the first one. It's ridiculous to think that the "owner" or moderator of a site is responsible for the comments on it. There have been some terrible comments/fights/attacks on sites that I've helped run and I'd hate to think that people consider me responsible for them.
Also, the badges are dumb.
