Talking piranhas vs skeptic

Hi,

I've been amused by the reaction to the most recent hybrid skeptic. With chip on his shoulder, our latest friend shows up proselitizing a libertarian, pro-nuclear, anti-hybrid, political agenda with the usual combination of rudeness and ignorance. Like a school of piranhas armed with the sharp teeth of facts and data our community responded and the hybrid skeptic soon resembled some unfortunate who'd fallen into a piranha infested river:
  • skeptic insults - answered with empathy
  • skeptic claims of expertise - answered with a math test
  • skeptic claims of knowledge - answered with facts
  • skeptic welcome - pointers to potentially sympathetic forums
I have no sympathy for skeptics but the latest one has been unusually amusing. What I did learn is Toyota has sold 1 million hybrids!
