One of my first tasks in the mid 90s working at an ISP in SF was mediating a Usenet feud between groups of our users who were Bigfoot researchers. They drew guns on each other in the Sierras. I have a paper copy of the police report somewhere.

That is the most incredible thing I've ever heard. 90s internet was so great.

Oh! I remember how I got involved. They had restraining orders against each other and wanted us to filter Usenet so they couldn’t post about the other or see each other’s posts. My reaction then was “You could script this and make things easier.” NOPE
