I don't think the issue is people impersonating others. This has not so far happened - though that's no doubt a good idea for Young Irelander to try next. All that's happened is someone has 'made up' a bunch of identities to create a debate which didn't exist. Log-in based fora don't prevent this.

My own view of log-in based fora is no doubt based on my own impatience, but personally, if I were Young Irelander I would still take the trouble to log in under different identities if I felt strongly enough to try to sabotage a forum, whilst if I were a casual observer with a point of view to express, I probably wouldn't. Seriously, having to sign in really p*sses me off. I can rarely be bothered when I visit other sites.
