The time before sarcasm was not www. it was command line internet. There were trolls in the early 90's internet but it was mostly academics and government employees and was overall pretty cordial and more importantly lacked advertisement. Man going back to look at the alt groups years later and it was like. wow. its all bs now. it was legitimately nice in the early 90's
