True. That was probably the one and only time I ever actually was cheering lekatt on.
Words are insufficient for expressing how happy this post makes me.
And once again the Straight Dope provides inspiration for a Call of Cthulhu scenario. Thanks!

In one thread I tried to elicit a response from him on what it could take, hypothetically speaking, to convince him that John Edwards and the other “TV psychics” aren’t really psychic. He actually refused to answer the question and justified this refusal by saying the question was “mean spirited.”
It really is heartbreaking to see someone completely close their mind like this. I’m amazed that anyone could put up such strong mental barriers to logic and reality. I seriously think this board should have a policy against people who are unwilling or unable to engage in any meaningful debate. It doesn’t do us any good to have people like that here, and it certainly doesn’t do lekatt any good to keep preaching his nonsense here.
Of course it does us good ! Not only does it give us a convenient punching bag, but he’s a great ego boost ! I can say to myself "I may be stubborn, bad tempered, misanthropic and unpopular, but at least I’m not lekatt ! 
After reading this thread add my vote on the heap. What an idiot!
But if you were him, you’d be too stupid to realize it.
Although it would ready you to embrace the sweet release of death.
If that’s what they were after in a hospice, they could just dump the dying onto anthills out back. I think they’re supposed to ease your transition, not make you long for it.

Oh, I don’t know. [tongue in cheek] If my notoriously curmudgeonly father were trapped in a hospice for lekatt for an attendant, I can see him coming out of a coma, or even a persistent vegetative state to tell lekatt he was full of codswollop and to leave him alone, possibly using the words “daft twit” in the process. Having used the last of his energy to do so, Dad would then go on peacefully to his just reward, having taken on one last idiot (with apologies to idiots). [/tongue in cheek or tongue out of cheek if you prefer]

Is your dad Hagrid?
Nope. Just a man who doesn’t suffer fools, period!

Like any response to lekatt, this has already been tried.
Feel free to resurrect it, for all the good it will do.
Oh dear, just the thought of it is comic gold!
What’s your problem, zoid?
Or perhaps I’m misreading your posting? If so, accept my regrets. As it is, the links have already been provided.
Oh, and they are certainly comic gold.
I was just a little trigger happy with the reply. I didn’t realize the links were already posted. No offense was meant.
I thought we’re talking about lekatt here, it would be the sweet release of near death.
I think you’ve hit on the root of the problem there. He comes back! :eek:

Perhaps it’s some kind of inverse Groundhog Day thing - instead of lekatt going through the same day over and over again, and knowing he’s doing so, he could go through different days, one after the other, but he perceives them as the same.
This would explain why he repeats the same old arguments again and again, and why he ignores or forgets rebuttals - he is going through the debate for the first time.
