I think getting to know people in person is always a better idea.
Then again, when you argue on a message board, it's not necessary to know anyone personally. Sort of like when you're driving a car, it's much easier to flip someone a bird when they aren't your Aunt Sarah.
(I guess I'd better start following my own advice on that one...)
