Please Don't Call Me a Skeptic - Sharon A. Hill

Sharon Hill writes persuasively about how the label of "Skeptic" has nowadays become associated with "a dismissive, know-it-all attitude" and expresses her disappointment with organizations that claim to represent the Skeptic point of view. She laments the lack of "respect, cooperation and reasonable discourse" and reminds us that "we have to seek common understanding to get anywhere." Illustrating the problem is this piece from Loch Ness Mystery: Back in 1962, a Loch Ness water bailiff's response to one skeptic was simply No, Dr Burton! A. W. Campbell had his own sightings of the Caledonian critter and, in the article linked by Glasgow Boy, takes exception to Burton's argument that the locals couldn't tell a "vegetable mat" from a monster.
