When is it Groupthink?

Erm.. I never even mentioned Devil's Advocate. Not in my original post you "corrected" nor my response to that. I don't need a private definition of devil's advocate because I was not talking about a Devil's advocate I was talking about the traditional role of the "outsider" which is different. I was not talking about Devil's Advocate.

Look again, it's at best four lines. You'll see that I never mentioned Devil's Advocate, go on, look, with your eyes, that's it.

Is there some reason you assumed I was talking about Devil's Advocates even when I pointed out I wasn't talking about Devil's Advocates or am I sufferering from some form neurological impairment where I think I am talking about the traditional role of the outsider but am in fact typing devil's advocate instead? If so this is going to be a right fucking mess.

You did reply to Gawdzilla's post, which you quoted: "The Outsider position is the most fun in a group, I believe. "Devil's advocate" work is more stimulating to me." Then you warned him about outsiders when he used the word in context of 'devil's advocate'.

If I was the type who enjoyed plucking the wings off flies, I'd probably also enjoy the sight of you furiously backpedalling. Enjoy your argument. You can have it all to yourself, you winner, you.
