advice on appropriate responses to comments

I need advice on WG protocol. 

What should I do when (as with David Booth, recently), a response to a LC comment is immediately rejected in a debating style? Should I as a WG member refrain from taking part in the invited debate, or should I respond to it point by point, or what? Should I distinguish my personal responses from offiical WG responses? 

Advice? Off-list if preferred.
