Is insulting, you're stating that my arguments and everyone else's that don't comply with your's are baseless.
1. Stop being so sensitive. That is not an insult.
2. If you think that your position in this debate have merit because of your stubbornness, their is nothing much I can do.
We are now going in circles because of your bias and lack of comprehension. I have addressed all of your points with concrete evidence, yet you continue to accuse, ignore, overlook and repeat.

I have provided numerous pieces of evidence because all of my statements are grounded in the works I'm drawing from.
Show me a single quote that you have cited in this thread. Its me and DMB who have cited actual content in the debate to support our arguments.

Your accusations of being baseless are both unwarranted and incorrect.
😬
Why do you think I had to cite content from multiple sources to counter your claims?
Look, I don't like to argue for the sake of argument. I have provided ample evidence in favor of Malgus in this thread, which guides readers to the most informed conclusion about this hypothetical contest.
If you cannot comprehend provided evidence and not realize your mistakes, we cannot have a debate.
If I were in your position, I would have conceded. My intelligence wouldn't have been in question if I had lost in a debate due to lack of information or sufficient research on my part about the topic in discussion, rather my concession would be representative of my intelligence and rationality.
Nobody is going to reward me with a trophy for my victory in a debate or boo you for your loss in a debate. So think rationally and settle this debate.

I haven't made a single argument here that isn't based in sources. On the other hand half your arguments are just 'your intrepretation is wrong, mine is right'. By contrast I have compromised on mine to have a finer debate.
You are relying upon your memory alone and this is why you ended up making mistakes and poorly constructed claims.
Here are some of your gems:-

All poorly formulated and lacking in depth and understanding of the power of character in question and merits of his opponents. These gems are from from page 1 only. Their are lot more gems in this entire thread from you. Several other members have also noticed errors in your posts including your ally DMB.
What do you expect? Sympathy? Or you have doubt about my sanity?
I would have no interest in this debate if I had not noticed errors in the arguments presented. I jumped in to correct the misconceptions and I have done that so far. But for critics, this became a matter of ego after they lost in the debate. And then you accuse me of insulting.

You are making huge leaps in logic, here is one example:A few generic 'master swordsman' accolades on Malgus' part do not equate to being called the best duelist of her time. Does not equate to having full mastery and knowledge on every weapon, form and style available in either order. Most certainly does not equate to being a Weapon Master, Jedi Temple Instructor for decades and being a record Sith Killer among the Jedi Order.
Malgus doesn't just have the accolade of being a master swordsman, he have actual history of defeating and/or outdueling other master swordsmen and/or competent warriors who also happened to be powerful in the ways of the Force.
In contrast, Lsu have less impressive and mostly unsubstantiated history. She may have been the best duelist of her era but she lived in a different time then Malgus. Therefore, you cannot declare Lsu as being superior to Malgus in martial aspects of combat based on this claim, it won't fly.
As for the other remarks, Malgus doesn't have to be her equal in all that to outduel her, his superior command of the Force and raw power will be enough. Though Malgus isn't lacking in martial expertise, it is his specialty.
The competence of a Jedi is dependent upon his power and command of the Force and not exclusively on martial abilities. This is why a Jedi will defeat Bruce Lee in combat.
If you are not getting my point then I have a question for you: Why do you think Cin Drallig lost to Anakin Skywalker?
FYI: Cin Dralling was a master of all forms of lightsaber combat and a Jedi Battlemaster as well. His skills had been described as being "nearly unparalleled."
From the official profile:
An esteemed Jedi Master and a swordsman of great skill, Cin Drallig was the head of security for the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
As you can notice, hype is significant. But performance against a powerful and skilled opponent was really lacking.

Here is another example:That Malgus simply snaps her neck from the get-go despite the fact that Bane didn't attempt this himself despite being in an incredibly desperate situation. Not to mention the countless occasions where Lsu engaged Sith Lords and killed every single one of them.
So just because Bane didn't made that attempt, it means that he could not do so?
Why is their a story and drama in the novel? Any ideas?
If Bane had held Lsu in a choke, their was nothing she could do and she would have been at his mercy at this point. Issue was that Lsu wasn't alone, her companions were helping her and they kept Bane under pressure.
In this confrontation, Lsu is alone and her defenses are lacking. It doesn't takes an Einstein to figure out her fate when Malgus decides to choke her or snap her neck.
Also, you keep on highlighting Brotherhood Sith as an analogy for Lsu's competence. Do you seriously believe that those mooks are as powerful as Malgus?
And then you accuse me of being insulting and vice versa.

A third one, just for emphasis:She has a hyperbole/praise statement gifting her the accolade of having killed as many Sith Lords with her blades as the Thought Bomb eradicated, matching the complete mastery of martial and lightsaber skill she has achieved.
According to you however, despite this mastery the statement has absolutely no basis in her actual accolades/feats. I even agreed that the Thought Bomb part was hyperbolic, yet I stated that, as with all hyperbole in Star Wars the accolade is grounded in truth. She very likely does have an extremely impressive kill count.
How many times you have to tell me this?
Who is her opponent in this thread? Malgus or an unknown Brotherhood mook?

Oh I am so sorry, I dared to pinpoint fallacies in your statements. How could I do this? You are so perfect and
all-knowing. You supported every inch of your argument with actual citations and rationality is overflowing from your remarks.
Please forgive me for my naivety and lack of knowledge. I never even heard of these characters before and decided to jump in arguing about their capabilities.
