I don’t use it either (obviously, why would I use a term I actively dislike), so this question is actually aimed at the people who do. But saying ‘You should stop calling yourself a rationalist’ is coming on way too strong and I generally try to be nice. Since you already don’t use it you’re not really the target audience, but thanks for commenting anyway because if the term is actually only used by a minority, having that pointed out to them might help retire the term.
