At the risk of necromancy;

We deal with multiple issues here. Anakin having the potential of being and Palpatine being the most powerful Sith ever. Couple that with Yoda being the avatar of light and Obi Wan's awesome skill of the Force.

Sure, you can point to both Yoda and Palpys on screen performance to say...well you's the man. However, according to the novel, Obi Wan had indeed reached an high level of Force manipulation to the point that he and Anakin were bitch slapping Dooku around and psyching him out totatlly. Obi Wan could become one with the Force, as he was in his fights with Grevious.

The trick here is the motovations of the Force. Measuring A against B or C or even D is useless when you think of the Force as all, ABCD. How do you have a begining without an end or how do you have a cure with out a disease? Yoda is the establishment meant to fall, Palpatine is change and/or chaos (take your pick) with Anakin being the change/ cure from change. Obi Wan is what is best of all of them. Willing to change as need be but loyal to the core tenents of what makes good good. Anakin is really just a plot device to interact between all of it.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Why? Palpatine is still alive and IIRC the whole reason the Jedi were having problems with using their powers to their fullest extent was because Palpatine used the darkside to cloud the Force.

Didn't the shroud mostly affect long-term precog?

It was supposed to affect proficiency with the Force in general.
