The use of "further"
Hi
Is the use of "further" natural here? Any other suggestions are welcome.
[said during an argument]
Why are you furthering such an small issue?
I don't want to further this talk/ topic any longer.
Please don't further such a small matter now.
Thanks,
Tom

It does not seem natural in that situation. You can say things like:
"Why are you making such a big deal out of such a small issue?"
"I don't want to continue this discussion."
"Please don't fuss about that small matter now."
etc.
