If this is still being followed, maybe the political forum needs to be turned into a real name only posting forum. No handles. Just like in nreal life, in a face to face you know the other person, and there would be accountability for one's posts.
I agree. Requiring people to use real names can have a moderating effect. However, the only way a forum where controversial topics are discussed can succeed is by enforcing strict rules of civility, and that means someone has to spend time moderating.
