Honestly? Probably not!

The funny thing is a definition I found of the original Greek skeptics:

Quote:
A member of a philosophical school of ancient Greece, the earliest group of which consisted of Pyrrho and his followers, who maintained that real knowledge of things is impossible.
Our current-day skeptics, however, think not only that it is possible to have real knowledge, but that their knowledge is the only real knowledge to be had.

To save yourself a headache, I'd avoid those forums. Do you really need more antagonism in your life?
