You will find more is tolerated here and less trolling. The discussions are more vigorous and tougher.
However, intellectual dishonesty is less frequent, or so it may appear.

Right on. On CB, everyone donor starts of with exactly the same rights as every other donor. On CG, everyone starts off with limited access, and depending on the whims of the majority of the early participants, people 'earn' citizenship within the community. On CB, cliques and subclicks develop naturally throught the 'friends' feature, and through the ignore feature. On CG, exclusivity is built into the board "charter," and the character of the exclusive, rather than being a natural growth of ALL participants, is largely a reflection of the ideas and beliefs of the earliest participants.
The cool kids might hang out at CG, but for all of its warts, CB is by far the more egalitarian forum. Enjoy your oligarchy.
