The "skeptic community" is something she defined primarily out of interest in leading it. But she seems not to have a grasp of who's in it. Notice the equivalency between Richard Dawkins and an anti-circumcision activist? I think the definition of her community was primarily to get it past whatever spambot at Slate decides which articles to publish. Otherwise it's just "Internet community is horrible," and that's dog-bites-man.
