What I'd really love is a link to someone smart saying "This is why I think the Less Wrong people are all misled, and here are good reasons why." But that's probably too much to expect, even around here.
There are people here who say that kind of thing all the time... whether they are smart and the reasons are actually good is somewhat less certain.
Right, that's the problem. There are plenty of sites saying why LW is a cult, just as there are plenty of ignorant religion-bashers. I've found many intelligent atheists, and I'm sure that there are rational intellectuals out there who disagree with LW. But where are they?
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
