Trust me, not with nearly as pedantically as on DS, the grammar / liberal sprinkling of profanity in 80% of the posts in this thread and 90% of posts in some others would earn you a shunning on DS. Use a single slang term in a thread opening post and the whole thread will end up centring around the fact that you did so. A typo can see you ridiculed in some sections.

I think a lot of TIBB members are just as intelligent as DS members. It's just more open and lenient here.

Didn't say they weren't (though with a membership that as I said made up of everyone from lawyers, to amateur astronomers, I would say DS has the edge over most forums in that respect, probably why it can come accross so uptight and pedantic when compared to the mostly college-age TIBB). As to TIBB being more leniant, again, this site is
tiny in comparison to the DSBB let alone DS as a whole, and DS is run by a private company rather than an individual and some volunteers. The pressure on DS to be strict in the appliances of the site's terms is greater than the pressure on TIBB.
