The topic of a forum post is "A lose". Plain and simple but the argument is that it should be "A loss" Which makes better sense? Does it really matter?

Yes, it does matter, particularly in a formal setting. Often people confuse lose, loose, and loss. "A lose" doesn't make sense at all. "Lose" is a verb - to lose, so you would never say "a lose". The correct term is "a loss".

A loss is better. Lose is a verb

well, you should use proper english if you want to be taken seriously, or even understood. I cant complain too much about those who speak english as a second or third language, but it is pitiful when native speakers cant put together a lucid question.

'A lose' makes no sense.
'lose' is not a noun.'to lose'
is a verb.

"A lose" is not grammatical.
