Note XiXiDu preserves every potential negative aspect of the MIRI and LW community and is a biased source lacking context and positive examples.

I am a member for more than 5 years now. So I am probably as much part of LW as most people. I have repeatedly said that LessWrong is the most intelligent and rational community I know of.

To quote one of my posts:

I estimate that the vast majority of all statements that can be found in the sequences are true, or definitively less wrong. Which generally makes them worth reading.

I even defended LessWrong against RationalWiki previously.

The difference is that I also highlight the crazy and outrageous stuff that can be found on LessWrong. And I also don't bother offending the many fanboys who have a problem with this.
