Have you noticed the amount of arguments that get started in forums and the like where face to face interaction isn't a part of the discussion?
Body language, as well as facial expression and voice inflection help to convey a point or feeling, making a person's argument "real", rather than just words.
I argue that they are in fact necessary to a proper discussion.
