if you think redditors are the most pedantic and condescending group of people on the internet then strap yourself in, because usenetters 100% give them a run for their money in terms of sheer retardation.

thing is virtually every flame war i've come across is worth reading and a significant number of usenet discussions immediately devolve into them, these niggers have literally no humility or self-awareness of how neckbeardy and insufferable they sound.

starting with a classic: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.games.video.sony-playstation/c/JZsDIXL2uAA (a)

Hahahaha I feel so sorry for all of you GAYstation owning losers

NINTENDO 64 is HERE and is KICKING EVERY OTHER CONSOLE IN THE ASS!!!!

And if you don't believe me, you're either a retard or a NIGGER

THE PLAYSTATION NATION IS NO MORE!!!! NINTENDO WINS AGAIN!!!!

Niggers looting after disaster
Have some respect for a veteran and let this message stand keyman.

YOU niggers are LOOTING in Brooklyn. That's right, while the cops are
in
Manhattan at the World Trade Center, you niggers are LOOTING.

And you call yourself an American? Bullshit, boy.

Do you see Whites looting? NO...But I turn on my TV and I see niggers
LOOTING
in Brooklyn.

You niggers make me sick. Even in times of national tragedy when we are

supposed to be united, you niggers LOOT.

Niggers never fail to disappoint me. You should be ashamed of
yourself. In
Korea, I fought alongside some niggers but I saw a lot of them run to
the
rear. Now, in New York, you niggers are stealing TVs.

And don't give me your denial posts. I saw it on CNN..turn on your damn

TVs
and watch the reports of niggers looting. Turn on the damn TV and I
heard and saw footage of niggers looting.

MY God...you niggers make me sick to the core. You are not even human.

They should be going there to help or donate blood or just stay out of
it..and
what do they DO? LOOT.

I'm sick to my stomach at the actions of the niggers in Brooklyn.

oh and editing because i forgot to mention that we should all commend the fearless cyberwarrior Bigot Fighter aka Rob Stewart, prestiged member of the Anti-Racist Alliance Response Team, for their service to and support of niggerkind.

The funniest part about the old usenet and BBS boards is that some back and forth rivalries could be drawn out for years. And it was all archived for the entire (online) world to see.

there were literally people who got court orders telling them not to post on usenet because of the shit they got up to lmao, im having a lot of trouble finding examples though, could be im misremembering
 
What would kiwifarms have been like on USENET?
pure fucking chaos because usenet, for its entire existence, has had hardly any moderation at all. that's not to say it isn't possible, there were "moderated" groups but they were far less active than non-moderated ones. as you can imagine this lead to the protocol being used by a variety of bad actors, the worst being CSAM distributors. article by researcher grugq: http://grugq.github.io/blog/2013/12/01/yardbirds-effective-usenet-tradecraft/
 
gonna doublepost i want to tell people how to find good threads, it's pretty easy. first off newsgrouper is the best usenet archive in terms of privacy and basic functionality although it's not as comprehensive as google groups. AFAIK groups is the only resource where you can actually search for specific keywords, in practice it's very difficult to index hundreds of millions or even billions of posts considering a. usenet is flooded to the brim with spam b. these posts were distributed across a wide range of hierarchies. sorting and indexing such a massive distributed system is something up to this point only google (or dejanews which they bought) has been able to accomplish. times have changed and perhaps it's more feasible for a smaller entity now but i have no idea.

to find flame wars (pretty much any hierarchy that has ever been popular is a good choice):

1. go on newsgrouper and under "Find groups to read" input a hierarchy like alt.flame.niggers, or select "Guide to the most active groups"

2. look for threads that have at least 10 replies OR start going back in time, using alt.flame.niggers as an example modify the URL with a large pagecount like https://newsgrouper.org/alt.flame.niggers/older/800000, this puts you back in 2003 for instance. it's probably a better idea to look at older posts considering usenet was much more active back in the day.

that's pretty much it.
 
im sorry for tripleposting but i cant edit the last reply i made (ik i was just warned for doing this, will not do it in the future i just found something else funny i wanted to share, and at the time i made this thread i had no idea whether posting multiple consecutive replies was allowed)

"I have nothing to say to a person celebrating alien niggers killing people."

alt.flame.niggers is such a goldmine
