That actually made it tolerable.
An alternative to everybody being guest? How about a specific user ID just for the political forum, allowing us to make use of all the TOTV features? One example.
I get it and understand the frustration and compulsion to respond but let me give you a scenario....

Interesting post;

Reasonable response;

Counterpoint;

Flame;

Response quoting counterpoint;

Another flame;

Response quoting response to counterpoint;

Another flame;

Response quoting OP.....and so on

My position is that given totally ignoring all the flames eventually the flamer(s) will lose interest and go elsewhere. Easy to do - no - effective? I think the answer is yes.
