Maybe.
On the other hand, one could argue that such behavior is healthier when discussing matters of world import and public policy instead of Selina Kyle's bra size. 
Possibly. I personally find the real world to be too depressing at times, and enjoy getting lost in fantasy and debates about fun stuff. I deal with the real world enough as it is. That's why I don't want to be a journalist and prefer to shift my wiritng skills in the direction of fantasy and fiction; it's also why I enjoy acting - because I get to pretend to be something I'm not for a little while.
That's one thing I don't like about attempts to make too many of today's comics TOO realistic, like what Bendis is doing with "Daredevil." I don't always want realism. I need some escapist fantasy where good can overcome evil, heroes are people you can genuinely look up to, and the villains always get theirs. Not always, but a little unreality is healthy if you do it right.
There's a time and place for serious discussion and debate, and a time to unwind and just jabber on about fun stuff. But partisnan-style arguing (where the person you're talking to refuses to consider anything you're saying, no matter how valid the points are) and pitching insults because of alliegences or preferences really take the fun out of it for me. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm always griping about partisanship and fanatical fanboyism.
