Kissing is sometimes an integral part of debate. After Christopher Hitchens debates his opponent, he ends with a kiss on the cheek. To show that there are obviously no hard feelings. <P>Seriously, going back to Diamond's original example of the way these debates tend to degenerate, I think the key is keeping your wits about you and not getting personal (something that I myself shall attempt to do, of course).
