Oh Jesus, are you two resorting to ad hominems? This was actually pretty interesting to read until the "you said" started appearing.
Aside of the jabs, I haven't attacked him nor have I accused him of anything. I simply would like the courtesy of a question answered.

Huh, really?
I occurs to me that that doesn't necessarily mean that they were in fact moving at speed in the movie duels. Interesting.

No, I'm attempting to get you to provide an honest answer to an honest question. You b1tch and moan and cry and shout about people being biased for Sidious, we can at least extend objective accolades towards Kun and I can speak to Palpatine's fallibility. Why not try some of this Humble Pie? Tastes good.
This is truely hilarious.
You're not trying to get an honest answer to an honest question, Gideon. You're attempting to get an answer that you can exploit in order to either justify your own policy or attempt to discredit Janus.
This is already apparent given the formulation of your question. See: "You never extended the same sort of favoritism or bias or benefit of the doubt or whatever you want to call it towards Ragnos that you perceive to be now directed at Sidious?"
Not destinquishing between "favoritism", "benefit of doubt" and "bias" is already pretty laughable, even though it certainly reflects your style of debate. To you, it's all the same. Yet, none of that is what you do when it comes to Sidious. You ignore facts, deliberately missinterprete certain quotes and omit information, at times even from the same page in the same source that you're quoting. This to convince people "beyond a shade of doubt" that you're correct. Yay.
Certainly, everybody here has given a benefit of doubt to his "favorite" character. You realise that "benefit of doubt" means, that you give a favorable judgement in the absense of full evidence. This is noteably different from what you do with Sidious. You give a favorable judgement for Sidious in the face of evidence to the contrary, which you cast aside with appeals to majority (of sources) or outright ingore. And while a "benefit of doubt" is necessary in the realm of talking about fictional versus fights, your method is absolutely dishonest.
Example needed? Your most recent attempt to discredit the Ancient Sith because of them using stuff like amulets and sceptres, while "overlooking" the ROOM SIZED CRYSTAL Sidious is using in "Sithisis" at the same time. And you demand "honesty"? Lmao.

It occurs to me that George refers the prequels as the golden age of Jedi relative to combat. What makes that interesting is that their combat abilities wouldn't be collectively weaker than previous generations of Force users.
If you don't like it, take it up with George. Because to suggest that Jedi fighters from the "golden age of Jedi" would be slower than EU Jedi is utterly moronic.
Utterly. Moronic.

It occurs to me that LFL refers to the time of the Ancient Sith as "The Golden age of the Sith". What makes that interesting is, that their combat abilities wouldn't be collectively weaker than later generations of Force users.
If you don't like that, take it up with LFL. Because to suggest that Sith warriors from the "golden age of the Sith" would be less capable than Sidious is utterly moronic.
Utterly. Moronic.
🙄
Or, well...maybe a certain somebody should get himself some education about literaric topoi such as the "golden age"...
@Sexy:
I didn't know that Janus needed rescue, provided he was winning. And it would be useless coming from me, given that RagingBoner ignores my replies for whatever reason. 🙂
