It would be wishful thinking. The Political Forum was up for the 2012 election and had the screen names of posters. It got real nasty. If a liberal posted a disagreement, he/she would be ganged up on by several conservative posters. Name calling like stupid, brain dead, moron, etc were not allowed, of course, but it got very mean spirited.
This anonymous method really does not have any value either. There is no real discussion but is just conservatives pitted against liberals (or vice versa) and some really mean spirited vile name calling from both sides.
