Being sceptical isn't the same as being cynical. If I'm sceptical it's because I think things are going to work out badly, or someone is worse than they claim to be, for example. Cynicism is when you want that to be true, and would resent it if it turned out things were better than you had predicted.

Nothing at all cynical about anything Little Hawk wrote there. Sceptical, yes, cynical, no.
