[Users] That won't work.

[Liz]

This discussion appears to be going nowhere.

This is described in psychology in two different ways.

1. One person invests in one attack on a problem and doesn't want to
throw away what they have invested (whether money, goods or time) but
pours more of the same effort into the same solution. An English phrase
refers to throwing good money after bad.

2. Once there is a dispute there is a tendency for each side to defend
their position, and strengthen it.

I think the best thing to do is for everyone to desist and allow some
time to pass, and allow everyone time to think about the initial
problem and potential solutions.
