Well um, just because nobody challenged him on his death bed doesn't mean they feared him. If he was on his deathbed, he was going to die anyway. Why not let him die in peace? And who says that he was LEAGUES above Sadow and Kressh. Just because the narrator says, "he was the most powerful of the most powerful," does not mean he was LEAGUES above them. Thats pretty much speculation. At least in my eyes.

Oh, good lord...what's the hyperbole? It's exagerration because you disagree?Fine, scan in ONE PAGE of ANYTHING that calls Ragnos the most powerful Sith Lord ever. Cause you know something? Nothing does. In fact, DE called Sidious the most powerful Sith Lord ever...and a God in the Darkside...and his battle with Luke the greatest battle in history, and his power was so great it was felt by every force sensitive across the galaxy...
And Essential Chronology isn't a 'compilation'. It's an official product. And it just owned you. I fail to see when KJA ever claimed or showed the Ancients or Ragnos were superior to Palpatine and considering this product goes right in line with Dark Empire, an earlier product to TotJ-and hey...source material can't be messed with, hmmm...-...well...
I already dealt with this foolishness. You are a one-trick pony, Lightsnake. Do us a favor and stop before you get hurt.
In other words: You can't. It's that simple, isn't it? You have nothing to back you up. You have a summary quote in reference to ancient times against quotes clearly saying 'of all time'.
I can bring in a statement from Lucas himself and you'd try to argue it. A compilation? This ain't a sourcebook, it's an official guide, same as the one to planets, technology, alien species and the like.
But he stands for you constantly acting like a total dick to pretty much anyone who DARES disagree with your views. For some reason anyone who opposes you is a fanboy, whatever they provide no matter WHAT it is is declared invalid but anything, no matter how hyperbolic or obscure is instantly gospel so long as it supports your view. Hell with that. I've provided an official source. It's newer, it trumps your old one, it's ALREADY trumped an older source written by KJA-thanks to Chee's clarification. Go on, provide me a quote calling ragnos the strongest IN HISTORY.
You know why most people here agree with you Janus? Because you and your allies bully and chase off and insult anyone who doesn't agree with you. The moment anyone DARES, it's 'fanboy' and 'feat wars'. In fact, you and your sycophants seem to have zero tolerance for anything NOT backing your views up, I've seen posters told to go kill themselves from your buddies because of dissenting views.
And while I'm at it, Janus, I know behind the computer screen you're a genuinely smart, decent, funny guy probably, but still, I'm more than a bit angry over your hostility in this subject. Why can we be labeled such when the other side gets off scot free and support someone who's never even appeared alive in a story? I apologize for that last message because it was somewhat in ill taste. I don't hate a single one of you, but can you guys stop with the fanboy stuff and insults, because, frankly, it's started from long before this and the last times on the board
