My default hypothesis in your case is that you hang with an Internet crew (as you've now more or less said) who serve each other as an echo chamber at JREF and maybe other sites, engaged in the self-glorifying ridicule of "woo-woos." Which in turn is a form of comforting group membership. It's like gang war without need of shanks, and the targets are happy to group into a gang of their own and fly their own bandanas (and often provide you with nice fat targets, they do), and it goes round and round and seems to be its own reward. Whatever it is, it usually isn't scholarship or skepticism.
