Let me speak personally here as a target of skeptical critiques:
1: I have rarely met a skeptic who didn't use ad hominem attacks.
2: Skeptics generally leap to the conclusion that I am naive, self-deluded, or simply unread in the sciences.
3: Skeptics rarely examine the shaky assumptions of their own position.
4: Skeptics believe that doubt is a positive attribute. (Skeptics in person can be appealing, usually in a kind of quirky misanthropic way, although most come off as self-important petty naysayers who try everyone's patience.)
5 : Worst of all, skeptics take pride in defending the status quo and condemn the kind of open-minded inquiry that peers into the unknown.
