You know what else exemplifies "mild cult behavior"? Burning Man!

No, I don't think it does. Burning Man is an event and a community. I don't see any cultish tendencies around it.

I was being sarcastic. My point was that the "cult" label can be hard to shake whether or not it's deserved--I analogized to Burning Man since it shares characteristics with LW, but was lucky enough to avoid getting labeled a "cult".

but was lucky enough

You really think it was just luck that BM didn't get a "cult" label and LW did..?

I did not mean to say that it was "just" luck, but of course luck played a role (as it always does).
