The people who have driven me the battiest while claiming to be skeptics are the ones with a conspiracy theory (or more usually a dozen of them). They will tell that it's being skeptical that caused them to see that the conspiracy theory is right. Then they accept the wackiest evidence in support of the theory while dismissing all evidence against it as fraudulent. What they are doing is mistaking cynicism about the government, a racial group, scientists, or something else, for skepticism.
My current favs are chemtrails and FEMA death camps.
The biggest thing that strikes me about conspriacy theorists is the arrogance of it that they don't seem to see. "Everyone else is blind and sheepishly accepting the fake story, but I know the truth, and hardly anyone believes me because they're too weak to see the truth that I know!"
