Those complaining about the anonymous posting appear to crave confrontation with a specific individual. That is exactly how these things get nasty.
If you cannot let the ideas speak for themselves, the Political Forum will not survive.

No, we don't "crave confrontation with a specific individual". In regular conversation on this board or anywhere, we're used to
knowing with whom we are speaking, even it the person bears a screen name.
It's impossible to tell whether it's ONE person who agrees/disagrees with us, or ten.
It's nice to know when a consensus is forming or changing as a result of the debate at hand. It's interesting to see if anyone actually comes around to your point of view or can at least find some common ground.
