This is another view on that.
Redwitch. I am sorry you associate the phrase "drinking the Koolaid" with Guyana and the friends that you lost in that awful situation.
I really do not think most people associate it in quite the same way. I know people who use it and they are sensitive, intelligent and kind.
I saw another posting a few days ago by a new person here who said much the same thing as you did about associating it with a personal loss.
Sometimes we just need to ignore things that bring a personal ouch. I have a few myself. We all do. I won't name them. No use ouching on purpose.
I have found that most people mean well and do not mean to cause harm or even associate it with that event at all.
