Someone on Facebook – sorry, I've forgotten who (Cyrus? Ben?) – pointed me to this long but provocative essay by a onetime skeptic, Stephen Bond, who has rejected the formal skeptical movement:

Bond has not changed his views regarding the paranormal or spirituality; he simply finds the skeptical movement distasteful for a variety of reasons, including self-righteousness, misogyny, group-think, Islamophobia, and a certain coarseness or crudeness in its approach to subtleties and complexities. He also questions whether belief in psi or religion is really as harmful as skeptics assert.

There is much to agree with here, and much to disagree with, but if you have the time, it's an interesting read.
