This is one of the reasons I can't get along very well with Bingo. Not only do we see things very differently but instead of having reasonable debate he has to play devils advocate and post stupid things like the photo above and and nonsense like "The Devil isn't in the Bible either" and lots of other points nonsense that simply can't be understood by most people.

...

And saying I'm "just playing Devil's advocate" all the time is just another way of saying my opinion doesn't count because you say so.

It's the debating equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and saying "Naaa naaa naaa naaa I CAN"T HEAR YOU naaa naaa naaa naaa".

I could say "you are blinded by tradition", "painfully provincial" or "ridiculously literally minded" or accuse you of something totally unfounded like being a closeted homosexual.

That would unfair right?

Time to settle this. Bingowings was equating something like accusing Warb of being a closeted homosexual with you telling him he was playing the devil's advocate. He didn't say Warb was homosexual.

Many of his comments were unproductive and rude and shouldn't have been in this thread, but I don't think he was really playing devil's advocate now that I've reread his comments.

Warb's accusation was not unfounded though, so I don't think it is fair, Bingo, to compare his accusation with something as unfounded as your example.
