Huh. That smart and he doesn’t know how to construct a sentence? Go figure. Unless, of course, he really does move among circles and they are inanimate. There may be such circles, but their existence is something about which I am unaware.

circle (ˈsɜːk ə l) — n

5. a group of people sharing an interest, activity, upbringing, etc; set: golf circles ; a family circle

“There may be such circles, but their existence is something about which I am unaware.”

I am sure the circles are animate. When referring to them they should be recognized as such. I also think, if I may be so bold, that the word “of” is a preposition and intelligent people generally concede they should avoid ending sentences in prepositions, which you made no mention of. Heh heh heh.
