For true, individual accuracy, an astrologer would look at several other factors in your chart that specifically govern conflict and communication:

Mars The Planet of Assertion & Anger: This is the most crucial planet for your argument style. The sign your Mars is in dictates how you express anger and fight your battles. For example, a person with a peaceful Libra Sun but a fiery Mars in Aries will have a much more confrontational style than the Sun sign alone suggests.
Mercury The Planet of Communication: This planet's sign placement reveals how you think, speak, and process information. This directly influences your debating tactics. A passionate Leo Sun with a very analytical Mercury in Virgo will argue with logic and precision, not just dramatic flair.
The Moon The Planet of Emotions: Your Moon sign governs your immediate emotional reactions and what makes you feel defensive. It's your gut reaction in a conflict, especially before you've had time to think.
The Ascendant (Rising Sign): This is your "mask" and your first response to any situation. It can describe your initial reaction when confronted, which might differ from your deeper, Sun-sign-driven motivations.
