Anonymous commenters should not be allowed to rate, particularly if the system is being abused.
This may not be do-able here, but a slashdot.org system of mod points might work for the comments. The way it works is the original article does not get mod points, the comments do. Everyone has so many mod points, and if you disagree with a comment, you can mod the comment down so the comment is turned into a link that has to be clicked on to be viewed. If you agree with a comment and think it particularly insightful, you can mod the comment up so it becomes more obvious.
Flamers/trolls get modded into oblivion by the community.

That's a very nifty idea. I kinda like it.

Me too! I love reading the comments. I particularly like comment threads where someone disagrees/dislikes something and a thread starts up where everyone weighs in with their varying opinions.
As to what you had to say about the type of comments, I think it goes without question that any one comment is just one person's point of view, and others may disagree. Just because I might think my point of view is gospel does not make my point of view the absolute truth.
And if the author replies back and says 'I believe you simply don't like seeing Early in a dress,' this is also cool. Even better is the author saying why they want Early in a dress, and what they were hoping this would do to/for the story.
If, instead of disagreeing with a comment in private via email, folks stated their differing opinion in another comment, most of the reasons for allowing anonymous comments would disappear.
Mod deletion of flames I have no problem with.
You know, I would love to see a story with Early in a dress.
