Absolutely agree with Blackadder. Though recently I have been wondering if there's ever a situation where it's not appropriate to play Devil's Advocate on someone else's post, even the "good" kind. I.e. when it's "just too nitpicking", "they didn't ask for someone to play DA". Can one take it too far?
Also, I've found that when I'm in a forum or facebook group or the like that's "Pro X", and I play devil's advocate against X, people will accuse me of being "anti X", "undermining the cause" etc. Doesn't seem like playing devil's advocate is the norm everywhere.
