Thanks for the feedback.
The term x-rationalist is generally used to describe LessWrong Rationalists, in the style of Eliezer Yudkowsky. X-rationalists is used to differentiate from other "ordinary" Rationalists, such as the atheist Rationalist Community, etc.
Frankly, I have no idea where the term originated from. It seems to pop up every once in a while on LW, though.
X-Rationalist sounds pretty stupid to me, I'm glad it's not mentioned often. Just use rationalist if you need to, everyone knows what you mean.
