I think that if someone's debating heatedly in real life and he/she smiles it's kinda different the person smiling does look a bit awkward though but on the interwebz it's a whole other story

Also, sometimes in Internet debate I will stick a ";)" in to let the reader know when I am being light-hearted since they can't read my tone.

That's true. I had meant by heated that the two sides were really passionate and indignant towards one another, not just involved and interested
