Using 9.01c

[JJ]

I always thought playing devil's advocate meant taking or presenting one side of a situation that will go against the grain of the mainstream, even when it may NOT be what the devil's advocate actually believes, to stimulate DISCUSSION - not argument. I do not like to argue for argument's sake (despite what many coaches might say!), but I do not have any problem with presenting a contrary side of an issue to make sure all information is on the table for those who are into making well-informed decisions. That's why I change my mind every now and then - because someone playing a devil's advocate gets me thinking. I THINK that's what a discussion forum is all about.

Don't just argue, but don't bash those who present another side of a situation WITHOUT personal attacks being involved.
That's my 9.01.....c?
