Skeptical Alienation

The experience of being excluded from skeptical communities because one’s skepticism does not align with the orthodoxy—for example, questioning the consensus on a particular issue, or being skeptical of mainstream science’s claims about certain phenomena. Skeptical alienation is common for heterodox thinkers who are then labeled “pseudoskeptics.” It reveals that many skeptical groups are not open to genuine doubt but enforce a party line.

Example: “He questioned a popular skeptical claim and was immediately banned from the forum—skeptical alienation, where skepticism is only permitted against approved targets.”

Half-Skeptic

Someone who is only half-skeptical

Those who are half-skeptics either only are skeptical of other people and their beliefs (won't agree with anyone who doesn't fit their biases no matter what), or are only skeptical of their own beliefs (in essence, a people-pleaser).

That person is a half-skeptic, they can't even take what the other person is saying seriously!
