sure. i think everything has a time and a place, even devil's advocate stuff. usually a devil's advocate still has a point worth discussing.
posting wrong info or deliberately lying when one has nothing of substance to add in a thread that is supposed to help people specifically looking to learn comes across, to me, as attention-seeking. it's not even arguing for arguing's sake -- it's being a d-bag.
i may well be in the minority, but forums that have good info are much more interesting to me than those with a high ****-to-credible-content ratio. the mods here do a good job on that. i've seen other forums destroyed without it, or the knowledgeable members driven away.
but whatever.
