    I’m actually very much in favor of playing devil’s advocate and do it quite often. But I also feel like an asshole doing it quite often.

      I’m confused because the person you replied to just said, if your interlocutor has to play the devil, you’re the asshole. Now you’re saying, you, the devil, are the asshole, in direct contradiction to the point of their comment.

        I’ve never heard anyone label someone else devil’s advocate so I wonder if this may just be a non English speaker not understanding the colloquialism.
