I have often seen (including mine!) some ordinary discusssion and smooth dialogues getting into a phase of arguments, and the members do not know how, where and when to stop, if the interactions become monotonous, boring, and often point less!
I have figured out the following approach to resolve this aspect; that is quit:
a. when you think the opposite member does not understand (after your three attempts) your point of view,
b. when you do not understand his/her point of view after three attempts by him/her,
c. set a time limit, and quit after a few minutes.
In all these when you quit, it is not necessary to feel that you have lost something; there is no defeat of any kind here.
In most cases you can say: let us change the topic, or let us get on to some other important, and pending work.
***
Save your energy and put it to use for some more important needs which are always waiting for your time.
***
The suggested approach would also save your relationships with others.
