Well ... to be fair, sometimes the devil is in the details. For example one of our skeptic named Lance Moody found that the credentials of a prominent author in ufology ( info here ) appear to have been fabricated. Klass pointed out that Walton had a history that made his story questionable ( brief here ). All too often we are not as discerning as we should be about ourselves in ufology, and the skeptics keep us from becoming too complacent. What bothers me is when they become offhandedly dismissive and resort to ridicule and mockery. That's nothing short of bullying, yet some of them still think it's justified. Those are the types that give skepticism a bad name.
