It wont work Paul, trust me on this.  I know for a fact that what will happen is that  the forum will then become dominated  by the anarcho caps exchanging ideas between themselves.  Then you would end up having to choose between either closing down the forum or banning them which would not be particularly democratic and would not look good at all. 
My suggestion is  much better.  Look upon these interventions by the anarchocaps in a positive light as an opportunity and a heuristic tool. The idea  that they draw attention away from the socialist case is rubbish frankly if you have been following the debate. The only way in which such attention might be drawn away is if nobody bothers to respond to them with the case for socialism. Adam’s argument that we demolished them 20 years ago  so why go over old ground, is equally invalid for reasons that I pointed out in my post  on the forum. According to that argument  we might just as well have never debated, say,  the Labour  Party after 1910  or whenever  it was when we first  we “demolished”  them  as well!
Do not underrate the influence of  the free market brigade. Adam’s remark that  they are now  just an eccentric irrelevance is dangerously misguided and way off the mark in my view. They are far more influential than he seems to imagine and their ideas need to be ruthlessly countered at every opportunity.  The WSM has a unique argument to bring to bear against them. Here is its opportunity to shine and to influence..
