Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
I understand your sentiments but reflect about what the Prophet did. Did he give up after one or two times of calling the biggest kufar of all to Islam? Nope... Some of his greatest enemies became good muslims, Umar, Abu Sufyan, etc...
I think it is important to redefine HOW we dialogue with them though. When they argue, leave them to argue. When they ask sincerely, then I think we need to answer.
If anyone does not feel like replying to them, they are under no compulsion to do so.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
