Even when some debates get heated I tend to get more "smart" in my posts. But it is always in fun.

I understand, but please realize that it does set a tone and even your friends might not know when your joking and when your not. That might be evidenced by the way the discussion turns into a flame war.

But that is what makes it fun. Even with my friends. Debates aren't fun if everyone is polite and nice.
