That’s correct, it was Sammy. I forgot the most important part: you could do _ **anything** _ “if you **just** [incorporate / adapt / employ / use] \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.” Granted, it was my first time interacting with a troll lunatic, but I remain impressed by just how much ‘stupid’ can be conceived of by one person.

Any of the flat earth folks. The concept fascinates me, since it’s so easily disprovable and some people are just so convinced it’s real. ---

I do not feel silly, Language is the only barrier to the communication of my theory, The theory I wrote about how space is displaced by matter is valid. Only the language does not describe the concept well enough to be understood in the popular language of physics. The concept of “displaced space” is better describe in this way- space dose not exist without matter, they are flip sides of the same coin. the fact that matter exists is why space is created around it. The space created by protons is what causes a photon wave to become trapped in that space and is how an electron is created. when the electron is forced out of the space it becomes a wave again. ---

My all-time favorite loony theory thread was the one about Jimi Hendrix being murdered - by wine. > [@Jimi Hendrix Was Murdered](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jimi-hendrix-was-murdered/525578): > > The official cause of death for Jimi Hendrix was always listed as choking on vomit due to a barbiturate overdose. However recent revelations show that foul play was involved. Upon reading an account of Hendrix’s death in a book the attending emergency room doctor, Dr Bannister, came forward to say he experienced an unusual amount of wine in Hendrix’s lungs, stomach, and hair. He determined that Hendrix had not choked on his own vomit but had been drowned in wine instead. He said that when he un… Compelling arguments against the OP’s position were advanced by numerous participants, but the OP doggedly stuck to his increasingly farcical views. Once you concluded the cause was hopeless, it was lots of fun. ---

That was me who argued the evidence that Jimi was murdered 12 years ago…Since then I did a radio show on the subject on KPOO San Francisco in 2016 and one to a 3 million demographic in New York City on the 50th anniversary of Woodstock on WRCN 103.9FM…I have since sharpened my evidence and arguments that prove homicide and even found a secret witness who put Jimi’s manager Michael Jeffery in London when he was killed…I became good friends with Tappy Wright for the last 5 years of his life and was depressed when he died because I lost both a good friend and Hendrix source…Same for Bob Levine…I was the person who went to Bob’s nursing home and found out indirectly he was dead in 2016 (the law kept them from telling me)…Bob was Jimi’s New York office manager and we had become good friends…He told me “I consider you like a son”…I have an interview with Bob on You-Tube where he admits he always suspected Jimi was murdered but didn’t have any evidence…Since that thread in 2009 I have sharpened my arguments…So much so that the ‘Jimi Hendrix Perfect Murder’ film stole two of my discoveries and failed to credit me for them…If you open a new thread on this I’ll have Jackmannii begging for mercy at my feet… ---

Strangely, I got an e-mail notification…If you are foolish enough to start another thread on this I will lay waste to any fools who dare challenge it…I have since conclusively proven Jimi was murdered and have been very busy since the original January 2010 thread that annoyingly put my responses in some extended text window that is hard to read… ---

I consider it dishonorable to slag someone in absentia and challenge their credibility but then back down when the person actually defends himself…I have developed better evidence and arguments since that thread that prove Jimi was murdered…In 2011 Caesar Glebbeek found the product manufacturer’s information for the Vesparax barbiturate that Jimi took as well as the Underwriter’s Laboratories Case Histories for Vesparax Overdoses…I have used the information contained therein to prove Jimi could not have overdosed which in turn proves he was drowned in wine…Glebbeek published the case histories of persons who took 10 to 15 Vesparax tablets…None of them died in less than 4 hours…Jimi only took 9 tablets with famous tolerance and died only 50 minutes after ingesting the pills…That is medically impossible…Also, Jimi’s death scene showed he had vomited intensely…Glebbeek’s case histories showed that no real Vesparax overdose victim ever vomited profusely because the barbiturate paralyzed the gag reflex…They only ended up with a strange reddish orange foam in their mouths but no intense vomiting…That tells you Jimi did not overdose because his gag reflex was still quite healthy…Something else killed Jimi and that something else was forced drowning in wine…The Chief Coroner at the London Coroner’s Office, Dr Gavin Thurston, told reporter Jack Meehan “Jimi’s stomach contents at autopsy showed he had imbibed a large amount of red wine”…This is proof of drowning in wine because the only way the number one pathologist in England could recognize a stomach full of wine with only a trace blood alcohol content is if that same wine drowned the victim’s lungs and stopped the intestines from absorbing its alcohol…It’s called “forensic forcing” and it proves the lungs were drowned by the same wine Dr Thurston recognized…It also proves corruption of the autopsy because once Thurston recognized that stomach full of wine he was obligated to explain the unaccountable trace blood alcohol content as well as the autopsist Dr Teare not mentioning that same wine in his autopsy report… ---
