Either they don't know what the definition of skeptical is or they are relying on a fantasy to give them entertainment in real life so they get upset when you knock them down a peg.
People think skeptics are people who just deny things because it doesn't fit their own philosophy, or some other nonsense like that. Even more so if it concerns something that they believe.
