When he died we did a "Dead D'Argo Dance" LOL I've only seen PKW the once so I'm sure that if I rewatched it I would cry now, but at the time I was still firmly entrenched in my hate and could only laugh.
What changed my mind was this incredible thread on Terra Firma: http://terrafirmascapers.com/index.php/topic,30392.0.html
The OP was a big D'Argo fan who had such a viscerally negative reaction to the character in Mental As Anything that I found myself first playing devil's advocate, and then genuinely defending the guy. Eventually through fic and other discussions I grew to love him. I still think he tends to be a self-absorbed misogynist bully, and hyper-rage as an excuse pushes all of my buttons, but then all the characters have massive personality flaws, and that's why I love them. Why should D'Argo be any different? ;)
