  Comments are open on your site.

  This page > Settings > Discussion is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  Discussion Settings
  Other comment settings
  _Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
  _Users must be registered and logged in to comment

  Note that the prompt will still appear but providing an email address and logging in are not required. There is no way for us bloggers to remove the prompt. It’s up to us to post instructions if we wish to tell the world that the blog comments can comment anonymously.

  Frankly, there’s no way I would ever set up anonymous commenting on my blogs because I’m aware that (1) the vast and overwhelming majority of all information on the internet is spam; and (2) that over 80% of the so-called comments submitted to free hosted WordPress.com blog every day are spam.
