If Unfair only played devil's advocate all the time he'd be fine since that's usually something that helps fuel good debates. But dude will literally argue over anything just for the sake of arguing. Like he has to do it a certain amount of the day because his life somehow depends on it. uh how do you differentiate "playing devil's advocate" from "arguing for the sake of arguing" it seems to me that they're the same thing in almost any context I'd say playing devil's advocate is a constructive way to take an alternate stance in a debate, usually done so to point out the flaws of another stance. His form of arguing is usually just telling you that you're wrong because it makes him feel better about himself. He doesn't argue for the sake of arguing all the time but he does it often enough for me to think it's way worse than merely playing devil's advocate all the time. I just want to know what he actually thinks on any given issue. Even just one. @UnfairRepresent, do you like vegemite on toast? Cats or dogs?
