This is pretty much my approach.
I don't try to "win" arguments on HN at all. I try to provide my perspective when it differs substantially from the prevailing, but I try to do that in a way that's not confrontational. I rarely get comments in reply that are directed at me (as opposed to the idea I've presented), but when I do, I almost always just ignore them.
