I’ve talked about this on FB a bit. I think these people who are regarding themselves as “skeptical,” are actually conflating suspicion with skepticism, and they seem to be indiscriminately suspicious of just about everything (except their own positions), regardless of what the scientific consensus happens to say on any matter, which is the antithesis of skepticism, IMO.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
