Or will you keep driving a point even when you don’t think the other party is being intellectually honest/interested in a discussion? I’ve seen a couple of arguments on this site (and others) where I believe one side is absolutely disinterested in addressing logic or evidence, and I wonder why people keep engaging in that discussion. Is it just not worth it sometimes?
I agree with the majority of posters above that it's worth having the conversation in public, like this forum, because of the lurkers. But, having the same conversation in person, one on one is probably not worth it unless you think they are really on the edge.
