Let's not confuse punta y punto.

sacar punta: sharpen a pencil or be rude

punto here: point, like our reputation points

the teacher asked if you didn't like her conversation class in spite of her giving you the extra point in her class.

sacar punta: sharpen a pencil or be rude

El Estudiante: No estaba sacando punta, solo estaba sacando punta.

La Profesora: Estabas sacando punta porque estabas sacando punta.

.

The Student: I was not being rude; I was just sharpening my pencil.

The Teacher: You were being rude because you were sharpening your pencil.

"Sacar el punto".. it might mean "to bring a theme up",

There is an expression: sacar el punto a relucir = "to introduce a topic into the conversation"

I don't know if this is true, but a teacher told me once that it can also mean to sharpen your pencil...
