Sensible and accurate post. The circuit traing is great. The problems start to occur when regular people with very little gym time are asked to performance exercises without proper form, training, and too much weight.
So is It circuit training?
What would I gave to do at the gym tomorrow to be "doing crossfit"?

See this kind of goes back to my earlier comment on the importance of a good gym/trainer. A lot of bad trainers just turn it into basically circuit training every day. But "true" and "good" CrossFit should be constantly varied. We have some days where we only work on strength, some days where we work on skills and movements, some days where we do conditioning workouts of various lengths and for various goals in mind. If you're at a CrossFit gym that throws a metcon on the board everyday and that's the WOD, you need to find a new place to workout
