Look, I don't want to get dragged into all this myself, but I'll address your points in turn.
1. As far as fighting, I'm referring to what happened after your rant, not the rant itself, when you ripped into Matt. He ripped into you, you ripped into him - two people, arguing, fighting, whatever you want to call it - you were disagreeing.
2. He is blunt. Like I said, not my style - but what the "spade a spade" comment means (or at least, what I intended it to mean) is that he calls as as he sees it and does not hold back on his opinion. It does not mean that what he says, in terms of what he says to you, I agree with, or disagree with, or anything of the sort. It's more a statement of how he delivers a message, rather than having any relevance to my own opinion of the content of that message.
3. You did go on about the MVPs for a long time, and it did appear pretty ungrateful to whoever did it (I think it was noodles). And ranting about the game engine and saying that a particular way to win is stupid - it's a game. There's no need for it. If it's going to fire you up that much, well, it's probably having more of a negative influence on your life than a positive one, which is not ideal. The GE is not perfect and we all have gripes with it (I certainly have mine - the 22-0 seasons, and look at the box score of my Cup Game on Thursday, and tell me how it makes sense) but it's a game and it's how it is.

when he attacks i defend my self
all i have asked is for him to please leave me alone
This is fine. Both of these things, if it is all you did, would be fine. But you went a lot further than that into personal attacks and abuse. What he said to you, as far as I'm concerned, is not as bad as:
you are the nastiest person i have had the misfortune to meet in this game
u r always so nasty
i dont like u & i dont know anybody that does
That's not defending yourself and asking to be left alone. So, what more can you possibly do?
A. If you feel the need to bitch about things, understand that it will annoy people. It's how it is.
B. If people say things you don't like, ignore them, or defend yourself without resorting to the insults. Take the moral high ground. The three quotes I outlined above really disappointed me when I read them, I will be honest.
EDIT: Please note that I am kinda drunk after my team's last minute EPL victory, so I have checked and re-checked this several times, but it may not make sense. If it doesn't I will fix it when the alcohol clears. Go you Toffees.
