I think if someone thinks they have an objective view of the world they are automatically disqualified from calling themselves rationalist :) There are certainly blind spots in every world view, including the rationalist one, and I see a lot of people here not realizing that. That said, going into the other extreme and calling a specific reasonably well defined concept something that it is not remotely similar to is bound to get a lot of pushback that you see.
