That isn't necessarily a bad thing - you'd fit right in at MENSA for example, aside from the entry requirement I suppose - it just isn't received well on lesswrong.

Was that some sort of a dig at Mensa, or XiXiDu, or both ? I know next to nothing about Mensa, so I feel like I'm missing the context here... Aren't they just a bunch of guys who solve IQ tests as a hobby ?

Neither, more of a mild compliment combined with an acknowledgement that the lesswrong way is not the only way - or even particularly common.
