Can we please stop circle jerking like this? I have no reason to believe that there aren't a bunch of idiots on here, just as most anywhere else.

Furthermore, it's not an ad hominem because an ad hominem is an argument that is being made by discrediting that argument not on its merits but on an unrelated other characteristic of whoever made it. I'm not doing that in any way - the use of 'circle jerk' in this context is perfectly warranted as a way to express disapproval of the poster's myopic thinking methods (or rather, myopic world view based on lack of thinking).
