I'm going to disagree, Leto. "Drinking the Kool Aid" has become a knee-jerk response to anything and anyone that does not jive with the user's point of view. It's easy, empty, unfounded and lazy, a means of disregarding an opposing position out-of-hand without addressing that position. It's a tool of the ignorant and uninformed, and says more about the user's unsustainable position than those it is directed at.
