Best post-high school decision I've ever made.

You mean you're not the kind of guy to write a fanfiction for the sole purpose of wanking the good Count Dooku?
Spoiler:
Who knew that you'd cave to accusations of cowardice. That pride of yours must be more fragile than I thought. But I do appreciate the answer, even if it's not exactly honest.
Hey, at least you and Sidious have one thing in common.
😂
Why are you so bitter?
You cited threads in which I argued for Palpatine's supremacy; I cited a thread in which I mentioned he has many rivals after you pretended that I never would. But rather than answer my question and admit any bias for Ragnos, Kun, Dooku, etc. you characteristically deflected.
I have absolutely zero problem discussing any bias on my part for Sidious. If you have the balls to write a fanfiction in order to textually masturbate the good Count, why can't you just admit bias?
SM
The difference is, I admit mistakes
^ Really? Where?

bi·as/ˈbīəs/
Verb: Show prejudice for or against (someone or something) unfairly: "the tests were biased against women"; "a biased view of the world".
Noun: Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.
^ This is the definition of bias, which means one is unfairly prejudiced. I do not believe I am "unfairly prejudiced" in favor of Ragnos, Kun, Dooku, etc. Your attempt to provoke me into admitting any kind of bias and then arguing my intentions instead of my points fails.
When I place an argument down for say in this case Kun, it's because I have reasonable proof and arguments to provide. Not bias. Bias would be taking your claim that Exar Kun was "once the most dangerous and powerful of the Sith Lords" and twirling it into dogma. I have not done so.
You, on the other hand, have actively and unabashedly made multiple threads to prop up Sidious, proclaim his powers above all others, and openly complain about any kind of opposition.
I have absolutely zero problem discussing any bias on my part for Sidious.
Good. Then you have to admit that you have been blinded by it in some of your claims, and that you refuse to believe anyone can beat him, which puts most of your claims into question because you may be omitted or twisting evidence, since bias is clearly unfair and prejudiced.

I like Count Dooku. I also like Obi-Wan. In fact, I'd argue that Obi-Wan is my favorite Jedi, followed by Qui-Gon Jinn. But I wouldn't argue Obi-Wan > anyone. Hell, I've argued against him, for right or wrong, in the past. But liking is not the same as bias. You have bias for Sidious, by your own admission.
And really? Textually masturbate the good Count? Little riled, aren't you?
^ Really? Where?
I admit that the idea of Bandon > Obi-Wan is not well thought out. I never claimed all of my one-line judgment calls in KMC were correct.

That's an interesting plot development.

Janus, one of the differences between us is I'm absolutely unafraid to admit my bias for any particular character. He's one of my very favorite characters and Lightsnake convinced me that he was the strongest Sith, and I stand by that.
It's not particularly difficult or personally exhausting for me to admit. Why should it?
SM
I like Count Dooku.

Because that's definitely indicative of extreme rage.

Technically, you're both biased.

BLARGH. I'm witty!
This has been fun and all, but now it's bordering on tedium. You continue high-fiving yourself and your Palpatine poster that hangs over your bed like a hungry lover and I'll be elsewhere, not wasting my time anymore. I have better things to do.
Like conclude this thread. Kun wins.

Denial much?

to be fair, RB has said for years that he is a sidious fanboy...
There is a difference. A fanboy is not likely to proclaim that the object of his affections has rivals or competition in any regard, nor is he likely to introduce evidence that leads to a conclusion against the supremacy of his chosen character. I've done both on more than one occasion, as Janus was kind enough to help point out.
I'm honest enough with myself and those of us here to casually admit that Palpatine is one of my favorite characters and his status in that regard has certainly clouded my judgment on more than one occasion.
