I think if you look closer, you'll find people are very skeptical on this forum. We are constantly calling each other out for "Datefagging". We are also constantly asking for the "sauce" because we may want to share something, but we need to verify it first. These are two examples I can't imagine you missed if you've been around for just a week.

My main point of contention is with the "skepticism" here, it never involves one of the core tenants of critical thinking: researching against your own confirmation bias. You must always try to disprove an article/belief in order to see if your article/belief is more plausible, or if the source you found is wrong.

I once brought this up to Ashlandog, when he posted a verifiably false article, and his response was: "sometimes you have to grab the ball and run with it son". He was essentially saying that he will continue to throw spaghetti at the wall with (fake) articles, just to see if one of them eventually sticks. However, the problem with that is that he is consistently spreading false information, and thus muddying the waters for everyone else. So I don't think the people here are as discerning as you believe them to be.
