They could post under their moderator name or another ID if they liked. Like here, personal attacks were removed as soon as spotted. Unless the OP specifically requested a thread be closed, we let it run whether it went off course or not. I like a lot about the way this site is run but not everything.

I do miss the Political Forum and I hope it comes back one day but only if it is moderated. Got way too ugly.
I also don't like anonymous posters. If you believe in your post you should be ok with having your name attached to it.
