Yeah, maybe in 1992. For all practical purposes, the quality of Internet discussions been at its current state for the past two decades. Complaining about it won't make it any better.

Complaining might not be productive, but reminding people that things used to be nicer is a good way to stave off despair that it can never be nice again. The Internet was nice, for years and years, and if we remember how to do it right, maybe we can make it nice again.
