She cut things off soon after but then he began sending wild conspiracy messages to her on Facebook equating her not talking to him to the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. Also, my other roommate and I were talking about it once, being paranoid that he had somehow planted microphones in our unit, and then an hour later he posted something on her Facebook page along those lines

Re: the OP, I get the general idea behind trying to be more positive or something, but as a "year of yes" goes, it seems tailor-made to product situations like in the link if not much worse.

Maybe that's how Zorro got started, if he had friends who asked questions like "Why don't you master fencing and then get some black clothing?"
