In reading this piece, I found it sprawling and difficult to get traction on. I clicked a few other pieces and found them similarly difficult to read. I then googled the site and found a bunch of other, impossible rabbit holes purporting to criticize or defend the writer of this site, some of which is documented in the article linked here. The gist is that everyone seems to be accusing everyone of doxxing, pseudo-science, groupthink, sockpuppeting, ban evasion, and harassment. Okay.

I don't consider myself to be a stupid person, but it's very difficult for me to understand what I'm supposed to take from the linked article -- beyond a massive amount of drama in the Skeptic community, which overlaps heavily with the Wikipedia editor community.

After spending 10 or so minutes trying to figure out whether the author of the linked article or the person he was criticizing came off more crazy, I gave up.
