The new skepticism, Receptive Skepticism, is about not punishing people into agreeing with us, but rather more focused on pointing out that being open-minded means not unfairly dismissing ideas.  It is about acknowledging the need for offering what we have with open hands, with no resentment toward any response of resistance or reluctance.   Receptive Skepticism is designed to help regular people feel good about engaging with skepticism, and to help skeptics feel like part of things, instead of feeling like they stand apart, and on the defense.  

For too long, skepticism has been an outside voice looking for recognition.  The goal is to grow, enter the broader community, and advocate acceptance, tolerance, and scorn-aversion, in practicing skeptical inquiry. Once united with the community, and after they have experienced our support, they will give what we have to say about methodological skepticism a lot more consideration. Because not only will we be advocating skepticism, but we also will be leading a scorn-aversion movement.  This will make the Receptive Skepticism community a haven from the cruelty of scorn, and a supportive source of acceptance and support, as well as a known advocate of a good cause. And then we will gain a voice in the community.
