We slowly need to have a post entitled "Do not use the word "rationalist" in titles" so we can link to it instead of writing out the same post basically over and over again.

Sounds like someone volunteering to write it. ;-)

There really isn't anything like that already? If there isn't I may as well...

I don't really know if there is or not. Could ask around, maybe make a discussion post?

This I think implicitly covers some objections to using "rational" and "rationalist" in post titles.

I agree, although that particular title is a little self-undermining.

Perhaps "Concerning the use of the words 'rational' and 'rationalist' in post titles" would be better?

It is self-undermining on purpose. Though your title may work better.

I will probably upvote this post if you write it.
