Nope, but clearly you've based your entire belief system on thinking so.  And just proved it now.

There is no belief system, so nothing is wrong. You, continually attempt to bring the sky fairy in when there is no need for make believe.

It's just an endorphine and hormone thing.
"Danger" (confrontation presents danger signals) makes your endocrine system up its output, so you get a cocktail of hormones that gives you a kind of high (more of a dull, mind-numbing buzz, really, but with behaviour modifiers involved, telling you to push, push, push!) That's why trolls get so excited when they come across people who'll argue with them.
Then, of course, there are people who are so unevolved that they actually admit to being competitive, and insist on "winning" at everything -- but being that kind of "winner" actually makes you a loser, because too-frequent shots of such "competitive cocktails" can shorten your life, and dying younger sure as Hell ain't winning.
But the good news is that trolls really will eff off and die -- sooner, rather than later.

According to Schopenhauer, this is indeed human nature
to use whatever arguments to win a discussion ...,
So, being aware of that nasty habit might help to break the circle.
One of my favorite quotes from him
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

the advantage is, that you must prove our arguments with facts. And by that you better understand what you want. And you also learn WHY others dont have your opinion.
After talking all facts, you should, can and also must end the discussion: one way or the other.
"Louder" => Loosing sympathy and all other positive flair 
Politicans are lyers, because there are enough dumb people to overrule the smart. It doesnt work with family, friends or work. Stay away because lying fires back. We have a german saying: "Lies have short legs"
Press F1 for help or google it.

I agree, sometimes it's much easier just to accept that the other person is wrong and will never agree with you, however much you show them the evidence.

Really, this part is irrelevant, since evidence can be interpreted many different ways. You're still back to the same fundamental issue, that we all see things differently. The way you interpret evidence or even the way the majority interprets evidence is not proof that you are right.

I'd be much more impressed if his name were Tempest.
Parker was Thunderbirds, not Stingray.
Maybe his nickname is Phones.

Potentially epic or potentially a disaster. I started watching a film adaptation of "Colour of Magic" with a quite reputable lead actor - had to turn it off, it was dreadful!! Plodding, slow and without any dynamic.
