I always enjoy your posts Xtrozero.
I have had many experiences, but i don't force them down anyone's throat.
I am also a skeptic, even though I have experienced things myself.
The key to proving ones theory is to set about to disprove it yourself, this is what scientists do.
Honestly, I think that a freaking UFO could land or bigfoot could take a # on some people's front yard and they still wouldn't believe. I am just being quite blunt about that...
But I have just about the reverse feelings in I see people fully believing in a topic with really nothing to support than very questionable evidence.
meme: (pron. 'meem') A contagious information pattern that replicates by parasitically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to pass on the pattern. (Term coined by Dawkins, by analogy with "gene".) Individual slogans, catch-phrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashions are typical memes. An idea or information pattern is not a meme until it causes someone to replicate it, to repeat it to someone else. All transmitted knowledge is memetic.

In many posts that I read I find that the word “skeptic” is used almost like a cuss word, and for many I get this mental image that they actually spit after saying the word.

His purpose is to convince other people that the subject at hand is completely ridiculous, and is not even worth being discussed.
