Bart,

No confusion here, except, perhaps, as a "projection" coming not from me.

I did not mean "skeptics" in the classical philosophy sense of the word.
I meant "skeptics" as persons to systematically deny optimism, religion, 
universal values, to avoid any mental effort/life.  This sort of people have 
a blind faith in their own denials.

And the classical Cynics did not deny everything automatically.
They were a little bit Zen, and they used humour, but they thought.

Carlos.
