Self-Voting: is it always a bad idea?

On the other hand, if you're town and hammering yourself (usually done out of spite or a desire to get it over with), the other townies will hate you because a) you've deprived them of a town player, b) prevented them from getting hammering info, c) thrown it in their face that they were wrong, and d) given up when it's possible that 'one last' vote may not have shown up and bought enough time to discuss other possible scum-choices.

Okay, how about in these games where it's a majority to lynch, but at deadline it's a majority of the majority to lynch (IE, 7 votes to lynch, 4 at deadline)? If you have six votes on you, deadline is two weeks away, and nobody seems to be willing to listen to cases against other people or discuss other people... would it make sense to vote yourself, ending the day two weeks ahead of deadline (where you would be lynched anyway) so that the game can continue?
