I think the best skeptic is someone who, though they may not accept the paranormal, understands that others do. The best skeptic can be critically expressive at the described experience without being disrespectful to the experiencer. The idiot who got off the maturity train in junior high school is the one who attacks someone's character because they accept something the idiot doesn't. Just like how those who insist Roswell was an ET issue get so flared up at any other explanation. Same moronic behavior there. The point is, leave the emotion and insults out of the criticism and your skeptical viewpoint will get through better.

Yes, it works both ways, but the topic at hand happens to be the displayed behaviors of the naysayers. When the true believers act stupid and attack others, I'll speak out against them, too.

[QUOTE="Walter Bosley, post: 92898, member: 2338"] I think the best skeptic is someone who, though they may not accept the paranormal, understands that others do. The best skeptic can be critically expressive at the described experience without being disrespectful to the experiencer. The idiot who got off the maturity train in junior high school is the one who attacks someone's character because they accept something the idiot doesn't. Just like how those who insist Roswell was an ET issue get so flared up at any other explanation. Same moronic behavior there. The point is, leave the emotion and insults out of the criticism and your skeptical viewpoint will get through better. Yes, it works both ways, but the topic at hand happens to be the displayed behaviors of the naysayers. When the true believers act stupid and attack others, I'll speak out against them, too.
