    Skeptics are anathema to everything good in the world. They should be driven from public discourse until they have something constructive to offer. Skeptics are repulsive, hateful and worthless.

    You have a very weird notion of what a "skeptic" is.
    Most people are defining skeptic as "critical thinker and seeker of truth" which doesn't sound too "repulsive, hateful and worthless".Of course, that judgement depends on your values.

    google define: skeptic
    "Skepticism (British spelling: Scepticism) can mean:* Philosophical skepticism - a philosophical position in which people choose to critically examine whether the knowledge and perceptions that they have are actually true, and whether or not one can ever be said to have absolutely true knowledge; or * Scientific skepticism - a scientific, or practical, position in which one questions the veracity of claims, and seeks to prove or disprove them using the scientific method.
