Hmmm. Emmanuel? Is something psychic afoot here?

You guys really don’t want to get into the mess between the posters of ASH and **lekatt** back in 98. Trust me you don’t. Just understand that **lekatt** has no interest in your input and views himself as already posessing all the knowledge he will ever need. His mind is officially closed.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Let it go, if only for the sake of your own sanity. Keep these lessons close to your heart and feel free to fire off a warning bouy if he surfaces in another thread so others don’t have to learn the lessons the hard way.

I’m sorry I didn’t notice the trainwreck and provide this input earlier. I might have been able to save some of you the frustration.

Enjoy,  
Steven

Are you by chance, frusterated with Uncle **Lekatt**?

I think that he is worthy of commemoration as a celebrity of the somewhat infamous type. I think he is well on his way to earning a place in netlore.  
I think that everyone should recognize what a giant of lekattism we have among us.

> [@](#):

I found out that he is cited on several foreign language sites related to NDE’s.  
I discovered that everyone of the arguments that I’ve seen used against his assertions about life after death, NDE’s, psychics, etc here on the **SDMB** has also been used somewhere else with equal success.

I move that new people who encounter **Lekatt** shouldn’t be warned against arguing with him until they **Pit** him.

I hope **Lekatt** never leaves.

Don’t you think, after a while, that the SDMB would have to open an entirely new pit for **Lekatt**? The **BBQ-Lekatt** area or something like that.

I just can’t comprehend in how somebody can be so minded, so impervious to logic, so obstinate.

How somebody can, for all intents and purposes, have their fingers perpetually in their ears shouting “LA LA LA LA, I’M NOT LISTENING TO YOU, LA LA LA!” at the top of their lungs to such a degree as lekatt has.

It boggles the mind.
