Not to single out any specific political cause, but we always gloss over the fact that some people are friendly, polite, and capable of generating an endless stream of pedantic BS but that such a person often has pronounced anti-social (sociopathic) traits. If you want to see this in a skeptic, you can easily find this personality type in people who are skeptical about the Holocaust. Drill down two mouse clicks from any skeptic web site into the conspiracy theory septic tank, and you will find the excruciatingly polite Holocaust deniers. It was about six months ago that I zeroed in on one right here, and I’ve done that elsewhere. Look for the politely pedantic skeptic, and you might be shocked at all the types of denial they espouse.
