Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

These kinds of people - naturopaths, conspiracy-theorists, ghost-hunters etc. - how do they get along with each other?

Rule Number 1: Do never publicly question or doubt what a peer believes in.

None of these people dares to question claims by other naturopaths andsoforth.

Why?

These are lonely people and they bond over the fact that they are misunderstood. Their community is the only group of people who doesn't attack and ridicule them. And no naturopath andsoforth dares to violate this communal peace by expressing doubt over other people's claims, because then they could get expelled from the only group of people who understands them.
