That really doesn't excuse it. I don't care if someone did it before—when you keep beating a dead horse, it's not only ineffective, it's also going to annoy the lot of us.

Your rants weren't insane, they were plain repetitive and recycled the very first point you made over and over again even when there was clear evidence it wasn't true. That is not the kind of stubbornness that compels people to argue with you.

That kind of attitude harms your arguments and credibility so I would suggest changing that approach. I am not familiar with Confuse Matthew so I can't really speak to the reasons for his approach but it sounds like he might be doing this for the sake of comedy while I didn't get that sense from you in the blog about the Tirek VS Twilight fight. I have been guilty of this myself at times because I am one of the most stubborn people I know, but I have gotten much better at this.

I'm pretty stubborn myself, EarthbendingProdigy, Miaq_the_Truthful, ghostfacekiller39, Dark Qiviut, Grumpy Enchantress, and many others already know that, but I never "reject" their ideas and opinions (hopefully it doesn't come across as such). I try to give their side a chance, and try to understand at the very least where they're coming from. Hell, Prodigy and Dark swayed me on "Somepony to Watch Over Me" with their points, and Ghostie swayed me on "A Dog and Pony Show." 

My point is, if you're naturally stubborn you have to find a middle ground, because rejecting every other argument outright is arrogant, and leads to ignorance.

Lol, I don't see how you can excuse such behaviour by blaming someone else for doing it. It would've been much more honorable to just apologize or something, not put the blame on someone else.

To be fair, the dude's name is Confused Matthew

Really, while fighting tooth and nail to defend your opinion is not just understandable, but admirable, fighting someone else when you know you're wrong is kind of lacking in honor; as much as I hate being wrong, and as stubborn as I can be in getting my point across, if I'm proved wrong, I admit defeat. I don't keep fighting when I know I'm wrong, because I think that's sort of...disrespectful? There's got to be a better word for that.

Anywho, just keep in mind, while fighting tooth and nail as alright, remaining patient and knowing when to keep going and when to stop is really something that is easier said than done, but can improve your standard of debating greatly

Just my two cents on this.
 

Okay, this ConfusedMatthew guy is confusing me.

Simba was being a pouty douche, fine. Doesn't change the fact that he manned up, even if in a contrived way.

But Timone and Pumba are selfish for using him as protection while providing him assistance and support?
