It all depends on specifics, but I say there's a fine line between 'heat' and just simple bullying.
Believe me, I'm not alien to the situation you're talking about, and I dealt a fair bit of 'heat' myself, before I saw it for what it was and stopped it. I found myself singling out particular people in my group, putting them down - jokingly, although these things have a habit of getting more and more extreme - in front of our mutual friends, and enjoying the laughs I got from them as a result.
It was just cruel and unnecessary, and it revealed something about me that I considered ugly and base. So I don't do it anymore.
