Default What happened to this newsgroup?

Once upon a time this newsgroup consisted of people asking about vegi
filters and how big fish get. When people disagreed with each other
they were civilized. I went away for a few years and now that I'm back
I'm shocked to see how rude people can get. This should be a
discussion of ideas and not personal attacks.

How many newsgroups are like this?

All those that have an ongoing urination competition between certified
loonies and have-to-correct-the-record obsessives.

Still useful with a bit of filtering.

My two lotus plants, bought this spring, are about to bloom!
