I always find it funny when the one post on the thread giving a different point of view is accused of being a result of drinking the koolaid.

Or, in a more concise way, you are a "bot".

Actually, there is a difference between the two in my opinion, although they are sometimes used interchangeably.

A koolaid drinker is a person who has bought into the party line without critical thought. A bot is a person who has fallen into the clutches of the cult of personality. Same result of course, but a different path to irrationalville.

Most of the time however it simply means "You must be an idiot because you don't agree with my infallible analytical abilities." So its hard to take either slur too seriously.
