Damn. Just recently I got banned in some community for playing the devils advocate… (Again)…

Reason: Flamebait and Agenda.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

No agenda, I am just enjoying discussions. And If I don’t manage to convince you, this means that I have reinforced your own opinions. And isn’t that a good thing from the other sides perspective?

I had the same thing on Reddit, got banned/downvoted even when I said "just playing devil's advocate"

It seems discussion is moving over for the new angrily shouting your opinion and ignoring any other information.

I think part of it is because tone and intention are very hard to convey over text.

I appreciate a good discussion, but am wary of getting into one online. Partially because I don't feel like overclarifying everything I say just in case it might get misinterpreted.
