Just posting a clear and concise explanation will often be enough to explain yourself.
Or it might just cause whoever's arguing with you to ignore your posts and blatantly insult you. From someone who's been in a similar boat, I understand that. It takes two to tango though, so do your best to end the argument. It's a lesson many, including myself, need to learn.

I explain when asked. Otherwise, it takes a while to post all the info if I don't start early. Luckily, I did just that.

... Merloo, here's your pattern of "explaining yourself". This is not an insult nor an exaggeration, but a rather accurate pattern that occurs whether you know it or not. 1. You say something that raises a challenge to it's fairness. 2. Someone makes the challenge, usually with "god-mod" in the post. 3. You make an explanation that either does not fully explain the project, or makes it seem even more unfair. 4. Someone points it out, and asks for either further clarification or further presses the accusation. 5. You give an explanation that contradicts your previous statement. 6. Someone points this out. 7. A cycle of you giving a variety of different answers and explanations to questions asked by others for several hours/pages aggravates the others. 8. They deliver an ultimatum for a full explanation. 9. You chastise them like a nun to a schoolchild for thier rashness/misinterpretation/false accusations and say that you never stated anything of the sort when your posts clearly alluded to the topic/there's nothing in the Rules about it. 10. A previously non-involved member makes a statement on the subject, which is when you try to play the innocent victim, further aggravating the others. 11. You try to keep the appearance of a patient person who has done nothing wrong and it is the others who are to blame. 12. Arguments and tempers flare, all the while you continue to criticize others for their words. 13. Several pages later after a topic has gone quickly awry, you act like the bigger person and say that you're going to drop the subject, leaving on a remark that clearly intends to spark a negative reaction from the others. 14. When they do, the cycle repeats from 11, going on for at most a month, all the while the less stubborn members truly drop the case, fed up with your attitude, until a threat of outside action is made. 15. You try to act responsible and make an unconvincing apology, play the role of the victim, and leave on a note to try to once again restart the cycle, but there is rarely anyone left willing to continue it.
... I'm going to save this for the future...

The NOVA argument was nothing like that. It started with a blatant attack on me. That is the one that stays in my mind to this day.
I think it's the one case where I have actually held a grudge, because of how it went.

Update 3:The not so final showdown
The Mages were surrounded by koopas, but they had more than a few tricks left. The mages then said a Word.
All mages: Elven!
And they gained massive power, using the mystic power of the pure hearts to aid them. The Troops then ran down the stairs at Jr troops flew away.
Jr troopa: You better get ready for thi-
A large explosion is seen at the entrance.
Jr troopa: What happened?
Koopa: You tried to put planes into a single room with traps outside it.
Merlon: So he tried to put a plane in a room?
The mages start laughing at him.
Jr troopa: Your one to talk
Merlee: touché.
Jr troopa: Ok, plan B, troops, push them into the lava with your power!
The remaining troops tried just that as their Magical foes where using the powers of the Pure hearts to own them. Eventually Merlee fell off the rocks, but used wind powers to fly back up.
Jr troopa: This isn’t working, retreat!
And that’s what they did, they retreated out off the dungeon. Once they got out, Jr troopa was confused.
Jr troopa: What gives, the plan said they when we went out we would find a weakened hero and kill it?
Koopa: So you tried to godmod by automatically find a weakened hero who was hiding, AND tried telling a war writer what to do? Worst plan ever. And this was against the guys who tried to negotiate with Zim and put an UWM in a room, I mean really,
Jr troopa then killed this smarter than the average koopa with his magic.
Jr troopa: Well, we still killed all the troops.
Koopa(Dieing):but…what about the…her…oes?(dies)
Jr troopa: HOSHI-
The heroes had just made it out of the dungeon, and faced Jr troopa now, killing his force that he didn’t leave in the dungeon.
Merlee: So Jr troopa, how would you like to die.
Jr troopa panicked and fired magic at the heroes, who avoided.
Merlon: You are the weakest link, goodbye.
Merlon used Electric powers to fry him into ashes.
Merlee: Now lets get Merlar.
(With Merlar)
Merlar: It’s about time you came.
Merlee: did you have any trouble.
Merlar: A little. Just some troops that found my hiding place
Merlon: Well we better get going, using all that magic can take quite a bit out off you.
Merlee: Just a couple things we need to get
The 5 tired mages collected some shells from the dead koopas then departed from the battle zone, leaving it in ruins.
Causualtys:
Merloo: All Uber units.
Yoshimaster: 1000 koopas 1000 hammer bros 275 fire bros 500 Lakitus 300 Magikoopa 500 green paratroopas 2 Bullet bill tanks (20 day war machine) 2 Bowser blaster planes (20 day war machines)
Loot:
Merloo: 99 koopa shells Jr troopas shell
