He was more formidable than a drug lord with a gun. He assured his own immortality which is another reason people feared him.
We see the truth and despite this people still greatly feared him. The Minister of Magic shit his pants at the mere sight of him.
They were in awe of the ring and he was taken down pretty quickly. He stabbed the ring off his hand. Tom's voice had people shitting their pants far more than Sauron ever did even while on the battlefield.
She did not tell he he'd die but that he'd try to kill him either way.
During their fight, in preparation of trying to outplan him, etc.
To not fear him is downright stupid. He will kill you.
Cant compare him actually dying to just the potential of it. And think about it from what you said; Snape is alone with the Tom talking to him about the EW situation calmly. And when is this fear shown? When Tom's about to pull the trigger. If someone's about to shoot you, who it is doesn't change the fact that you're dead in half a second. Fearing death doesn't mean he's fearing Tom, right?

Except the fear your talking about didn't appear until the trigger was to be pulled. Point if if he showed fear it was minuscule and mostly related to the idea of dying. Snape did not fear Tom for Tom.

When someone points a gun at you, what do you do? Tom hit him before Snape had time to act.
Never denied nearly everyone fearing him (the Snape thing is that not every single person did), thats why I feel he's a close second in this thread matchup. And the main reason I put Sauron above is as its like comparing a mob boss to a war tyrant. Similar fear on two different scales.

Snape is smart enough to understood what Voldemoet meant to know what was coming.
Voldemort didn't need a ring to domineer the races like Sauron. Voldemort to me inspired more fear. To me the Minister of Magic shitting himself at the sight of him perfectly illustrates the fear he invoked.
And? He could know it was coming and Tom's wand would still be pointing at him. Reaching for his wand would kill him.
He had ruling and fear before the rings were forged. Yes, that moment was a huge shock to them, keeping in mind that part of that shock was due to them thinking he was dead until then.

It doesn't matter as your point is destroyed. He was feared by beings with generally the same ability as himself... like a drug lord.
They were in awe of Sauron. Even without the ring he was greatly feared. Tom's voice never had people standing around waiting to be slaughtered in groups
When Tom tries to kill you, normally you die. Unless you're a baby or Dumbledore of course. Seeing as how they were neither there was a good chance Tom would succeed. So why fear a word when death was pretty much assured? Again just like a person with lung cancer, why avoid smoking when the cancer is trying to kill you regardless
Negative. Tom showed fear at the end of the fight with Albus. Fearing death/injury/ect does not mean you fear Tom. He was afraid for others and it shows
Well i guess Albus was stupid, and Harry, and all others that openly opposed him eh?
And you're admitting that it wasn't Tom he feared, but dying.
He was already in the war-tyrant stages in the First age. Yeah the Ring made him more formidable, but so what? Its in his possession and it made him more fearsome.
Whom exactly?

False. Most drug lords have power over men and aren't formidable in combat.
The ring clearly had them in awe due to having dominion over them. They were scared shitless. They also stood around while he talked shit to them after he just assaulted their school.
Baby had protection and his Horcrux was going to kill Dumbledore. Voldemort>>>Dumbledore. They feared the wizard not the word. They feared him because they'd be foolish not too.
No, he did not. He stood over Harry's body while Albus looked terrified. Albus was scared for Harry, obvious is obvious.
They feared him. You act like you can't oppose someone and fear them. Sauron feared Aragorn.
