>That was certainly an interesting if not completely ridiculous read... The author seems to spend most of his time generalizing and erroneously misinterpreting the view points of those he perceives as skeptics (the most heinous of which include his characterization of skeptics as people who "hate and fear" philosophy, which is just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard). Having spent quite some time in sceptic forums and circles, I can assure that the article is 100% spot on. (Oh, and the sceptics love philosophy, but only if it's the 1% of positivist anglo-saxon philosophy that caters to their prejudices).
