Even motivated skepticism can be just fine with appropriate rigor and the clarity to see when evidence does or does not back up what you're saying. (Heliocentrism is a good example.)

Skeptics are a big reason why I don't argue with people on the internet anymore, some people will literally only accept evidence if it supports their world view, anything that doesn't "Must be fake", and the only explanation they give is throwing around insults...

I'd probably still have a working Reddit account if I learned that sooner, ah well...
