DMB, last I checked, holds Bane above Plagueis, well aware of Plagueis receiving the exact same accolade at the back of his book. He chooses to accept it as fact when it's Bane, but when it's Plagueis, it's irrelevant.Double standard confirmed.

For what it's worth, being the most powerful master of the Dark Side in a period when there are only two of them isn't the most impressive accolade out there.
Apparently, most people operate under the idea that the Force grows weaker with more Dark Side users or Rule of Conservation of Sith.

Blurbs may be outsourced or done by the publishing company, and lack important context and surety. To use one as evidence in a debate would be careless.

Just concede the double standard, bro; accolades that appears on covers remain canon only when regarding Bane or anyone the like, not when it's Plagueis.
Because more than one person has the most powerful Sith Lord accolade, it obviously can't be true for everyone and thus in some people's cases it would be sightly hyperbolic. However it does prove that someone who is a recipient of such a quote is among the most powerful of the Sith. To prove my point, everyone in my top five Sith (with the exception of Caedus as far as I am aware of). Sidious, Bane, Plagueis, and Vitiate all have this quote, and so they are all in my top five Sith.
I don't quite see why this is so hard for you to understand. Bane has an accolade, so I am going to put it in his respect thread. Plagueis has a similar accolade, but the fact that I didn't mention it does not mean I'm not counting it. It simply has no relevance to the Darth Bane respect thread I am working on.
I didn't mention Plagueis's quote, but I have never attempted to discredit Plagueis's quote in the past, and somehow you are trying to twist my words to make me look like an *******.

Clearly you have been ignoring Plagueis' accolade, but you get erect as soon as Bane's turns up.
I really don't see what your problem is.

I also mentioned that Bane and Plagueis, along with Vitiate and Sidious who have also received this accolade, are in my top five Sith. The only reason why I reacted to Bane's accolade is because I was not previously aware of it, and it had relevance to a thread I was working on.I really don't see what your problem is.
Unless, of course, you want to deceive the reader into believing Bane is more powerful than he actually is, which wouldn't be out of the question, considering your history.
