Skeptics I have immense respect for.

RE: Skeptics I have immense respect for.
I actually have no idea what Scicurious' religious bent is, and she's not a professional Skeptic, but she kicks ass at science blogging. I find her amusing, at least.

The term "professional skeptic" seems silly to me.

Me too, frankiej. What qualifies one as a "professional skeptic"?

I think it is a person that takes part in "Competitive Scepticism." It is obviously a sport.

Off-hand term I use for people who work closely, or even exclusively in organizations or publications catering to that crowd. Usually they write for a host of blogs, magazines, write books or work for CSI, CFI, JREF and the like.

Not all of them write. Some are presenters/lecturers. Some have "day jobs" in science. Brian Dunning writes for some blogs, but his main deal is his podcast and the videocasts he puts out. He does techy stuff outside of it to pay bills, but wants to move to working on Skeptoid exclusively. I doubt he'd call himself a "writer" if pressed.

John Lennon was the man! The world lost a truly respectable skeptic when he died.
