Also why does Rational wiki hate LW so much? What is the source of all that animosity?

I am not too familiar with RationalWiki but my impression is the editors come from a certain mindset where you always disbelieve anything that sounds weird, and LWers talk about a lot of weird stuff, which to them falls in the same bucket as religion / woo / pseudoscience. And I would think they especially dislike people calling themselves “rationalists” when in actuality they’re just doing woo / pseudoscience.
