The rules of Political Talk included using " guest" vis a vis username. Some creative posters found a way to unmask posters.

Despite that fact I have followed this rule because it made sense to me.

it allows the responding poster to focus on content rather than on the the person who originated the post. too often people on TOTV respond based on whether they "like" " dislike" another poster.
Its childish and it interferes with open debate

Its apparent that this is in part what diminishes Political Talk
