Are you kidding me? It's possible for two people to debate opposite sides or hold opposite viewpoints and still respect each other. With you however, nobody who doesn't hold a viewpoint congruent to yours has any respect for you, and the only times anyone actually compliments you, it is for use in using you as a standard against which bad things are compared to insult others.

Bane has no feats to compare
You ignore every feat and accolade for Bane I provide you with, even if it is directly supported by the text, through use of double standards (which I will address later), the nexus argument (which also ties into the double standards I will address later), and the use of certain diction to undermine Bane's feats while hyping those of his opponents. For example, when Kenobi slowly bends Grievous's chestplate open, you claim he "ripped it open," but when the text explicitly says he ripped a durasteel door open (which he did while drugged), you refer to it as him "just moving" the durasteel door. Or when Bane reduces the internal organs of guards to pulp with a telekinetic wave (also while drugged), you refer to it as him "rubbing the insides of guards."

the only reason I even respond to your posts anymore at all is to further discredit you from the few posters on this site that arent contaminated by fanboyism like your or Neph.
So you are doing this specifically to spite me? Even when I don't make a post or don't respond to one of your posts you continue to try and bait me, same with Neph. That is not what a legitimate debater does, that is what a troll and a flamer does.

lmao, what double standards
Where do I begin?! Let's see...
The nexus argument is a major one. You harp on the nexus argument for the characters you hate and claim they are incapable of their feats without nexuses, yet when it's Kun who was on a nexus, "he could've done it without a nexus" or "there's no proof the nexus was the source of his power." Or how about the fact that you harp on Bane's "nexus feats" in versus threads, but when he has access to them you say "oh he can't use it to his advantage."
Another main one that I've noticed is how you arbitrarily express different points of view on the outcomes of fights in Bane's era, based on which character you are currently trying to lowball. Whenever you are lowballing Bane you say "he got his ass kicked by Kas'im" but when you are lowballing Kas'im, you say "he got his ass kicked by trainee Bane." When lowballing Bane you say "he got trashed by Zannah," but when lowballing Zannah you say "she couldn't even beat him without a nexus."
You also frequently harp on Bane's capture at the hands of the Huntress and a squad of mercenaries, however let's not forget that Bane lost to them after putting up a fight in less favorable circumstances than Dooku or Maul lost to the pirates, or than Grievous lost to the Gungans.

you mean your inability to bring up superior feats for Bane in the face of superior characters?
A lot of Kenobi's ROTS feats you bring up for him are directly contradicted by the movie for one. But I could chalk that up to your other examples of ignoring canon, such as when you refer to characters as "weak" "trash" "fodder" "shit" and "pathetic," even though they have been canonically referred to as very powerful.
We all can lowball Carthage. There are quite a few things I could point out about Kenobi and some of the other PT Jedi. For example, I could say that Maul and Dooku losing to pirates was pathetic. I could say that Anakin not immediately destroying clovis in a fistfight is pathetic. I could say that Maul not destroying Sugi in a fistfight, and failing to cut her down as she lay on the ground defenseless as he slashed at her like a rabid animal pathetic. I could say Obi-wan getting his ass kicked by two death watch members is pathetic. I could say Anakin and Obi-wan struggling with holding up a crystal while working in tandem is pathetic.
You also make the claim that Bane only being able to kill non force sensitives with TK blasts is pathetic. I find it interesting that Bane's force waves consistently kill their targets and completely **** up their internal organs, even when he's not at his peak or when he's drugged. On Oba Diah, when Dooku unleashed a force wave, or when Anakin and Obi-wan unleashed a force wave in tandem, it knocked over the Pykes, but they still managed to stand up less than a minute later. So their telekinetic waves, unlike Bane's, aren't even lethal.
Bane's power with the force was also such that he was only considered to be safely imprisoned with the use of drugs to prevent him from using his force powers, while the likes of Dooku, Maul, Anakin, and Obi-wan can be confined and imprisoned successfully without the use of drugs to dull their force powers.
Or I could also address the fact that Bane was fending off Zannah while unarmed and drugged, while Anakin was fleeing from a droid and a subpar bounty hunter while drugged, with Cad Bane remarking that he's not so dangerous without his lightsaber.

Go away you aren't even apart of this discussion
Seeing as you do much of the stuff you do to spite me, especially regarding Bane, I don't see how I'm not a part of this discussion when you have gone to such pains to draw me in.
