What if reddit was run by people who were the skeptics? Then the science community would be banned.
In silence it's all about who decides who is silent. In this case its reddit but what if it isn't?

People interested in hearing the various view points of climate change scientists and campaigners and denialists could set up a sub-reddit.
Here's how it works. Any redditor create their own subreddit. Subs are self-moderated. If a redditor doesn't like the current science sub, then they can make their own. There's plenty of paranormal and conspiracy theory subs that coexist with /r/science. The admins don't ban anything, so it's not like the entire science subreddit could just disappear. If admins actually moderated subs, then I doubt reddit would have things like /r/braveryjerk. If you wanted to seriously debate climate change with deniers, there's a sub called /r/cmv for "change my view".
No, they wouldn't. A skeptic can be reasoned with, a hardliner in skeptic's clothes isn't. Or, more specifically, a "climate skeptic" is not skeptical about climate research.
Might I suggest the subreddit name, 'butthurt'?
