I would think that would be generally harmful for the point of thoughtful discussion as you are essentially labeling a person from the get-go with a certain bias.

I think it could actually have the opposite effect — that someone you've tagged at one point as someone you disagree with later posts something that you agree with (or vice versa).
More pessimistically, it could make you disagree posts because they're made by someone you disagree with.
Works well when the labeled person writes thoughtful comments.
