I am really appalled these days that there are so many rude and arroga people on the forums. It is totally outrageous. Does anyone else feel same way I do here? If you do, I would love to hear your stories.
You are appalled? Where have you been, because it has ALWAYS been this way... Even back in the 90's it was. I remember it well, flame wars
all over the place.. Probably even worse than now.. I think for the
most part that Dove-Net is actually pretty peaceful. We joke around
alot, but most of it is just that, joking...

No I think it wasn't as bad in the 90's as it is now and I am not talking about BBS Forums. I am talking about website forums. Like for example: http://www.yourforum.com (Not a real website).
I remember folks being nicer in my local BBSes then most folks are here in DoveNet. I think though that was because we all got to know each other at local Modem User Group meetings and so forth. It's easier to be a turd to some anonymous user you'll never meet then to someone you might run into locally. Our Citywide BBS echo in Net 388 was very peaceful and fun... not
to say Dovenet isn't fun, but I'd have a hard time letting my kid have free run of any message forum, BBS or otherwise, now.
