I generally don't because I feel that people ought to be able to disagree without stooping to that level, but I am going to make some exceptions for ignorant, illiterate blowhards such as yourself.
The strangest piece of this post. I only left it in as part of the reply because it was funny.

Let me tell you something you piece of crap, the poster I was responding to stated that nothing short of MAgneto's shields can withstand Hulk's attacks. The reason I stated that Storm had nothing to fear was if that is true, then Storm has stronger attacks since she can trump his force-field.
ok, wow... let us dissect this a bit.
Do you need the durability of Magneto's shields to survive a hit from the Hulk? Certainly not. Many have and many will. However, not too many people with human level durability will.
Since Storm can destroy magneto's shields, she has stronger attacks than the Hulk. This is making the presumption that Storm can pierce Magneto's shields whereas the Hulk cannot. Further, there appears to be a scan of Storm hurting Magneto with his shields up.
However, here is where you lost sight of what DC was trying to indicate for you. If we want to determine, say, how strong Storm's lightning is, we should take every single example of her using lightning, give some sort of rating to its strength, and then average it out and try to remove the extremes, as there are highs and lows for all feats that can be attributed to PIS and bad writing.
So too would be the case if we were trying to determine the strength of magneto's shield. If we collected every appearance where Magneto uses his forcefield, we would find an average strength rating that allows him to deflect pretty much EVERYTHING. Including hits from Thor's magical hammer.
Now, we must use the knowledge acquired from both of these collations of data. If Storm's lightning (as it is normally portrayed within her power limits) is strong enough to break Magneto's shield (as it is normally portrayed) we would have other showings of either:
a) Storm's lightning doing more damage than Thor's hammer
b) Magneto's shield falling to things with only as much power as Storm's lightning.
Neither of these are the case. Storm's lightning is nowhere near the power of someone like Thor, and Magneto's shield has survived that.
The "double standard" DC was talking about is simple. You use the lowest instance of durability for Magneto's shield durability to prove that Storm's lightning super strong. Well, I'm sure I could find a VERY low end feat for Storm's lightning, and we could all say that it is impossible for her to make anything more powerful. In BOTH cases there is a double standard.
if Storm can break Magneto's shield, she will beat Hulk. This is a logical fallacy. If we assume that Storm can break Magneto's shield, that says nothing toward the end of this fight. Lightning powerful enough to destroy magneto's shield is probably not enough to put down the Hulk. Again, we would have to collate all the data with regards to the Hulk's durability, but I can promise you, it will be well above the durability of Magneto's shield, and this is all without any consideration of his healing factor.

I'm sorry if you lack the intelligence to follow the logic there as I am sure most of the other posters were easily able to see it.
I will give you props on this, excellent use of a rhetorical device. "Clearly you need to agree with me, because everyone else does"
buddy, you have a future in politics and misinformation

You go typing these long posts trying to insult somebody but obviously lack the education to interpret what you are trying to criticize. Why don't you stay out of these discussions and let those of us with more than one brain cell discuss this with civility and intelligence. These things are supposed to be fun. Idiots like you turn them into flame wars.
Civility is overrated. This is not the first thread where people have gone to great lengths to show you the evidence that disproves what you are saying. You are more than welcome to believe what you want, but on these forums there is a desire to find some sort of "objectivity" (ya, its impossible, lets not play semantics). This means there are necessary criteria for feats and necessary components to valid arguments. If that is not "fun" for you, you are in the wrong place.
People have been very patient with you, and I will warn you this:
Continuing to make these same arguments about Storm without valid arguments will do nothing but HURT the character of Storm on these boards and in the minds of the members here. There is no love lost for any sort of fanyboyism.
