Hmm.. You want your readers to leave comment without entering their email ID? Email is mandatory in WP-commments.

why is it mandatory? what problems could cause removing email id form comments?

Untested, worth giving it a try.

.comment-form-url {

display: none;

}

why is it mandatory?

WordPress comment mechanism is designed in that way!

However, as Prasanna pointed out, entering an email and url is part of the WP commenting mechanism. Without displaying those, one of two things is going to happen:

1) WP just won’t allow readers to post comments, because it will require them to enter an email address and they can’t

OR

2) You are going to get tons of spam comments.

Comment URL in wordpress is actually nofollow links.
