So i was in a battle thread. Having a battle between two characters with the biggest FANBOYS in history. Flash vs Thanos.... I know. I know. I should never have entered. But I did. Making statements. Debunking scans. Insulting each others intelligence. You know... All the good stuff. This went on for over 600 post. It got so bad a mod had to lock it. Other Viners were saying " Pooty, you wasting your time. They won't listen." But I couldn't stop. I even posted " I"m done".... but i posted a hundred more times. Why is it so hard to walk away from a conversation when you KNOW there can be no winner? You KNOW you will never agree? You KNOW both parties are stubborn. Why do we persist? Why don't we walk away? WHY?

Ego and pride. We all have them and it makes it hard for us to stop when all we want is to be right.

Classic male need for aggression and dominance - to never back down or show weakness?

I'm not attacking you or anything, but you could be equally stubborn yourself. :)

Sometimes walking away is not cowardice. If they are Trolls, than you are just feeding them.

Psst. Happens to me a lot. LOLZ!

Very true. Only a stubborn person would argue with a stubborn person.

Because you feel a need to teach them they are wrong.

It's an inherent part of every guy, really. I've been guilty of being pig-headed every now and again.

Damn straight! I have already scheduled 3 hours tonight to inform people, just on CV, how wrong they are. =)
