Okay, to summarize the brainstorming so far:

LW-based labels:
LessWrong (ers) / (ians) / (ites) / (irim)

Descriptions:
Critical thinkers, people who will stop misinterpreting you if you explain, hardcore rationalists, rationality geeks, aspiring rationalists, anticipators, mental cartographers

Ranging from other to very other:
Illuminati, L-dubs, fashionalists, rationistas, Bayes-users, Bayesian conspirators, Yudkowskians

How would that be pronounced? ell-double-u-ers? Or just less-wrongers again?
