What it is exactly is up for conjecture, but there is definitely a positive attitude among them as well as dowsers, in stark contrast to any skeptic.

Your inference is that all skeptics lack a positive attitude. Do you have actual data to support that statement, or are you just making comments at random.

I fail to see the association between being skeptical about something and a person's attitude; be it positive or negative.

If we view your basic comments posted here, one might think that all dowsers suffer from extreme paranoia, are suspicious by nature and completely abhor rational science. But it would be erroneous to make such a silly association, because there are probably a lot of dowsers that are not paranoid, are not suspicious and fully accept the axioms of rational science.

Perhaps you do have data to support your inference. It would interesting to see it.
