I'm with Ducky on this one. Letting someone else have the last word brings the argument to a close. Trying to have a discussion with some people always turns into an argument, so bringing it to a close by not engaging with the person anymore is a win in my opinion.
It takes two to fight and the smarter one shuts up.
Refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

It is an Aussie expression mcm. For example, saying that someone "couldn't win a chook raffle" is equivalent to saying that they could not even win the smallest of events.
win |win| verb (wins, winning; past and past participle won |w?n, wän| ) [ with obj. ] 1 be successful or victorious in (a contest or conflict): the Mets have won four games in a row | [ no obj. ] : a determination to win | [ with complement ] : the Pirates won 2–1. 2 acquire or secure as a result of a contest, conflict, bet, or other endeavor: there are hundreds of prizes to be won | [ with two objs. ] : the sort of play that won them the World Cup. • gain (a person's attention, support, or love), typically gradually or by effort: you will find it difficult to win back their attention. • (win someone over) gain the support or favor of someone by action or persuasion: her sense of humor had won him over at once. • [ no obj. ] (win out) manage to succeed or achieve something by effort: talent won out over bureaucracy. • archaic manage to reach (a place) by effort: many lived to win the great cave. • obtain (ore) from a mine. noun a successful result in a contest, conflict, bet, or other endeavor; a victory: a win against Norway. PHRASES one can't win informal said when someone feels that no course of action open to them will bring success or please people. win the day be victorious in battle, sport, or argument.
Winning an argument may not yield the result you seek. I prefir to aqueous to the effect of a choice and offer an opinion of hazards where compelling.The result of a choice is the property of the chooser. Consider that and challenge a choice only when it infringes on you or your prior choices.

When meeting someone like that, there is nothing one can do except walk far away and pray to the Universe that the extreme personality owner does not follow. Then one has to ignore every single horrible thing that person says about you to every person they encounter.
Lesson learned. "Swim away before it begins."
