> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Musicat \* > \*\*Just wait until Leroy discovers our latest [dowsing thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=170935) \*\* Leroy wasn’t required. Two aspects of Lekatt (and therefore another two dimensions to “lekatting”) that haven’t been discussed yet are 1/ his penchant for flatly contradicting himself 2/ his habit (when being asked for cites) of stating that he’s already given them when he hasn’t, or giving a link to a site and insisting it supports his position when it does not. If you’ll permit me these extensions to the definition of lekatting, fine examples of the technique can be found displayed by **peter morris** in the above thread. ---

I think actually Lekatt just left the word “my” out after the word “has” in the first line. ---

Actually what I mean is that Lekatt accidentally wrote “the” instead of “my” after the word “has” in the first line. [Sorry, it’s just that my brain is doing something else at the moment and I’m thinking with my tonsils (which were taken out when I was 6 years old)]. ---

[QUOTE=blanx] We really need to stop feeding this nutjob- he’s useless, and should be locked in a small box. [/QUOTE] If we keep feeding him, he stays here and spends time trying to convince people who know hes a whackjob about his POV. If we let him wander off…he might find someone who believes him. :eek: Then more innocent lives will be forever steeped in ignorance. ---

before this zombie is locked, I find it very curious that a pitting includes so many guests. ---

That was before we went pay I believe. Everyone from that time who didn’t stick around to fork over money would be a guest. The interesting thing is that this thread is just as applicable now. ---

I don’t think lekatt believes in evolution, so why is the consistency surprising? ---

**lekatt** is currently being invited to shut up on the front page of this very forum. [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=426785). I’ll close this zombie. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/to-lekatt-something-or-pull-a-lekatt-means/161080.md?page=2)
