Anyone read USENET?+

Hi folks,
I watching the new Matrix movie and being left with some questions I started looking at some usenet sites for more info. After reading just a few posts I found the people writing to be the most vile, rude and short tempered creatures on the Net. The most common flow of any thread is
1. Someone will ask a question on a subjective topic ( i.e. I really liked _insert possible topic of interest here_, do you?)
2. People will respond with either:
a. I agree, blah, blah, blah
b. You are a _ insert insults here_,....
At first I thought it was the perticular BB I was reading (movie related) so I looked up some other BB groups (political, economics...) same exact thing from an older crowds.
I understand that these BBs' topic focuses are subjective, and opinion seeking BUT it the manner in which these people discuss and argue that is disturbing. I read insults that would constitute as death threats, or worse, etc
Thank goodness for this BB, because it moderated people behave themselves and those that don't are booted.
