Replace "stupid debates in EoEO" with "stupid debates in General Gaming or one of the FF subforums" and this is also me.

Fine Sam. I will join this party and confess my stubborn sin.

I will refuse to openly admit that I like anything my housemate raves about purely because I'm a bigger smurfing nerd than her and she doesn't love things as much as I do so I just tell her I don't like it so I don't have to engage that conversation.

"Never give up" and "Never let anyone else win" are two very different attitudes.

They are one and same when you have the context right, you seem to be removing the context in which it is meant and playing it up to make it look sociopathic. What is clearly meant by my "never let anyone else win" attitude is simply this:

People in this world will seek to put you down, break your confidence and all around generally act like a colossal pile of steaming trout. They are the people who simply seek to make your life a misery, to provide you with a reason your day is ruined. Given half a chance they're the ones who will push you off a cliff if they thought they could get away with it. No one is so universally loved as to be able to claim they have not got someone out there who feels such about them.

I will never let those people win over me, I will not be deterred from being who I am... regardless of their attempts to break me down. Hence my attitude is that of both "Never let anyone else win" and "never, give up" and my definition that they are the one and same.

I am not stating that I cannot accept when I am wrong or in the wrong for I've proven many times that I can. If I couldn't I doubt I would have the friends I do have or work in my field. If I were a sociopath it is likely I would ever admit to being in the wrong on anything or to having lost even when the result is clear which is simply untrue.
