If you believe you are right, should you always argue your case fully? (Even if it means you may get accused of "always trying to get the last word")

No..don't be so argumentative, it's annoying. State your case and be done with it already.

No. When I see a debate or argument turn in a direction that says "I can't get my point across with this person," then I simply walk away. Better to remain unspoken and thought a fool than to speak and be known one, as the old adage goes.

Unless you really, really need to convince these people that you are right for some reason, I don't see any reason to bother.

It depends on what's at stake. If someone's life depends on it, I will pursue it, but if it involves trying to convince someone who has made it plain that their opinion is fixed, I wouldn't bother, just agree to disagree.

Depends on what you or others can gain from it (positively, of course). I just did that with an airline whose brand-spankin' new representative made an error and had no idea what she was doing. Spoke to two different supervisors who consulted with their co-supervisors... Got to keep my reservation for Christmas Day AND got almost $600 refunded.

If it's something actually important to you OR you feel the dissenting viewpoint is based not on differing views but on actual faulty logic and/or erroneous facts, then yes. If you believe your answer has been misinterpreted or twisted, then yes. If it's something that really isn't important to you, then no.

No ones perfect. Unless we're talking about football then George Best kissed the word.
