TFP definitely is a great opportunity to have good discussions. In my one year of college, I have only had two classes where we actually had intellectual debates. Here, I just have to find a thread that interests me. I also learned that just because you can't see someone doesn't mean that they are not there. Early on, I made some pretty flamy posts in the politics area. In retrospect, I probably didn't really know enough about what I was talking about to argue my point well, so it ended up being "No, you're wrong because I don't agree with you!" Now, though, I have learned to think more about what I'm going to say. The one exception to that is when I'm posting at 3 AM... then I'm not thinking about much of anything.
