I'm not making any claim about fire breathing dragons though....

That's completely irrelevant. Just because you're not saying you don't believe in them doesn't mean you don't believe in them.

Do you believe they exist or not?

Whether someone is talking about X is irrelevant to the matter of whether they're rational for actually believing in X or not.

I don't have any reason to believe that fire breathing dragons exist. But I'm not making any statements on the probability that they do exist or spend a lot of time on internet sites arguing that they don't exist either.

First you put a question mark, and ask what is a pseudo-skeptic, then you claim it is a straw man...  Which is it?

The question was rhetorical.

  Wiki pedia has a good link on the subject, if you are not familiar with it.

You're very familiar with it. The point is you're strawmanning me because you're misrepresenting my skepticism as something less reasonable (this so-called pseudo-skepticism) so you can attempt to knock it down.

If you think that my assessment is incorrect.... then why. It seems to me, that you are wanting to make a claim, and not support it (which is what started this thing), and then hide behind skepticism. This would be pseudo-skepticism. The fact that you think I making a straw man, says to me, that you are making an argument thus a claim, and thus cannot hide behind skepticism. Hence, I would say that pseudo-skepticism is not a (so called "straw man"), but an accurate description.
