Post TCS article on "the two skepticisms"

There is a good article on Tech Central Station today about "the two skepticisms" - i.e. junk science skepticism and pseudo-science skepticism. As a strong proponent of both, I agree that skeptics of all stripes should be more united and cooperate with each other.

One good example mentioned is health quackery, where the two sides examine a lot of claims and politics involved in the issue and could cooperate with each other. Although I'm sure some skeptics on the pseudo-science side must hold unskeptical views on the environment, I don't think it's the majority.
