And?We're talking about votes that were made. Not that I assume the majority is always right, but the fact is that in this case the majority's vote is clear. There is no way around that tbh.
And Tondemonai hasn't said anything about votes. So you trying to act as if this proves anything or that he should be beholden to the will of the public doesn't actually establish anything.

Not at all, I simply gave the round-up of the votes, because it seemed to me that the OP was confused what's the general concensus. Nowhere did I say that it is the right opinion.
And then I simply pointed out that the general consensus is skewed because several prominent member's haven't posted here, and that their votes and arguments likely would have evened out the vote. Just for contexts sake.

I see.and McP, Ancient, Merchant, Fated, Selenial, Jack, Nalaniel, Based, Vorpal Ruin, Lightsnake, Nai, Beefy, Stealth, Zampano, Skybreaker (RIP) etc. etc.
Darth Power, Mizukage Yoda/Lord Stark and Intrepid37 are/were a great debaters.
Well, I also think, that Maul is more powerful, more skilled and far more deadly. But.
Well, I don't think, that DoE Bane would be able to beat Maul. But Orbaliski Bane from RoT? I'm not sure if Maul will be able to penetrate his armor.
If this is SF Malak he should be able to defeat Bane with his FL. Yeah, Bane dies at Malak. If not, he will rape Sion (who is among the worst Sith ever) if he will defeat Maul before. But he wont pass Revan or Dooku.
There are sometimes exaggerations in the books, you know (as well as in the games, comics, cartoons). Only movies are free of that.
Bane couldn't overpower Zannah's lightsaber's defense with his own lightning. Sidious could disarm even Yoda with his FL, and - according to the ROTS novel and being supported by Lucas' quote - he was able to overpower Windu's defense with his FL.
Bane was unable to to the same against faaaar less powerful and skilled combatant. His lighning is faaaaaaaaaaar inferior to Sidious. Pure feats against other combatants suggest, that his FL was below average imo.
Flawless logic.
Bane's lightning is below average, even though he can instantly turn people into ash with it. Which, to my sleep-deprived knowledge, no-one else we know about but Sidious has ever achieved. Sure.
Maybe Zannah can block his lightning because she's equally as strong as Bane is in the Force and was in a good situation. Whereas Yoda had previously shown himself very capable of blocking Sidious' lightning and subsequently achieved the much more difficult feat of deflecting it with his hand instead of his saber, indicating that he was just off-guard when Sidious disarmed him. Windu was also not overwhelmed by Sidious' lightning. If you actually watch the scene Windu is constantly able to push forward through his lightning, which is the complete opposite of being overpowered.
But no Malak totally beats Bane because he once killed a random Jedi with lightning. Surely Bane is no match for him.
Also Zannah wasn't far less powerful than Mace and Yoda.
