This is right. On the earlier political forum, names were used but it still got nasty. Some real nasty ones did get banned and then complaints finally got too much for the administration and they shut the whole thing down.

A political forum with no names given is going to be subject to name calling and baiting by some of the posters. It will be almost impossible to carry one an actual discussion - partially because the opposing side will ridicule the posts they do not agree with.

I would like to see the forum changed to identify the posters. However, I doubt this will happen.
