Adults in society are meant to be logical, listen to facts, discuss and conclude. Unfortunately most often this is not the case, they simply react; an offending message is rejected. Internet access is granted to anyone, people write and post primitive reactions on message boards "I hate nutjobs!" they scream. They hate those who provide them with information that makes them feel uncomfortable. These types are human beings, like we all are, it's a human reaction which they cannot control, so we should not hold anything against them.

It has more to do with critical thinking and rejecting wild conspiracy claims obviously based on a persons prejudices with no evidence to back it up.
I am a skeptic, Im sceptical of claims of psychic powers, sceptical of the idea of God, skeptical of much of what government and corporate figures say and skeptical of what anti gov conspiracy people say.
Everything has to do with weighing up a situation based on evidence available and making the most obvious assessment, because the simplest and most obvious answer is usually correct (occams razor). Your'e a smart guy wehateporn but I think you misinterpret what actual evidence is.
Im skeptical of everything you say, but if you had real evidence then I'd be forced to accept that.
