Ok, I’ve beaten my head against the wall. I’m sick of you. SHUT THE F UP. I’m not sure how you still are allowed to post your lies on Straight Dope. Especially on threads like these: [Defiant Chief Justice Vows to Keep Ten Commandments Monument](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3892954#post3892954) I have continuous hounded you for proof of your claims and get the response: > [@](#): > > I will just leave this big mistery up to you, the one with the answers. I don’t answer anything under conditions. Ok first off, what the fu\*k? I have no idea what the second sentence means. What conditions? You mean providing proof by chance which is pretty much required when you try to support your claims? Later on the page, someone provides proof that what you had said previously was false. This is in regards to the three people that were suing that you said were atheists but turned out now to be. I called you on (one of) your lies. Here’s your response: > [@](#): > > By what measure do we say a person is Catholic or Jewish or Pagan. By their word? By their beliefs? By their actions? Anyone can claim anything now, can’t they. That is not proof. What? Hey **Lekatt**. SHUT UP! Oh, and not every thread you’re in is a way to talk about your stupid little “near death experience”. Shut up about that too. ---

Well, stpauler, there _is_ a blood test available for such things, you know…sheesh. Nice thread title, by the way. ---

How many is this for **lekatt** now? Gotta be getting into double digits, I should think. He must be a fan of [Dale Carnegie](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0671723650/qid=1061845476/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/104-7452863-0391939). 😃 ---

Actually, I’d say lekatt is more like Sam’s Club, only because he/she deals in ignorance in bulk. ---

Could we add **Razorsharp** to the pitting? ‘Cause that boy is seriously disturbed. And maybe **Milum** too. The insistence of these good ol’ boy patriots that they have a better handle on the Constitution and what it means than the generations of judges that have gone before them is absolutely galling. Especially when, in the case of **Milum** , it’s preceded by a crack about the “diminution of hostilities in 1865” in Alabama. Yeah, buttmunch, that would be the War of Southern Treason. And y’all lost. ---

**lekatt** has proudly admitted he attended school when school prayers were still legal. Does that mean we can use him as proof that school prayers are a bad thing? 😃 ---

Eh, yeah, down with **lekatt** and all that. I haven’t seen that much of him in GD lately, and frankly I prefer it that way. I hope I’m not stirring things up here, but is the Publius on listed in **Mgtman’s** link the same as the one that posts here? ---

> [@](#): > > lekatt has proudly admitted he attended school when school prayers were still legal. Does that mean we can use him as proof that school prayers are a bad thing? By all means.

I’m honestly perplexed about why **lekatt** is still here. [list=1][li]He’s a known kook, as evidenced by **Mtgman** ’s link.[/li][li]He adds nothing to the board except disinformation and frustration.[/li][li]He is impervious to rational discussion.[/li][li]He hijacks threads that were going perfectly well before he polluted them.[/li]Evicting him would feed his martyrdom complex. He’d feel vindicated, and we’d be rid of him. Win-win![/list=1]He’s the **Jack Dean Tyler** of dewy-eyed brainless Bible-waving bullshit. Why, _WHY_, is he still here? ---

Yeesh, now I have to go watch some porn to get the image of Phelps and Falwell jerking off out of my mind. ---

It seems to me, that **lekatt** is six kinds of fool. It _also_ seems to me, that this is a product of never being exposed to anything worthwhile. Nothing except pseudoscience has crossed his threshold. Well, he may _yet_ buy a clue. ---
