@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org I was on GEnie. It was kind of cool, but it was full of libertarians and people who believed that government should not build bridges, because that was socialism, but private entities should build competing toll bridges, because that was capitalism. So it went. It was interesting. That was mostly on the Jerry Pournelle science fiction board, where you could get gang flamed for disagreeing even a little. I had a lot of trouble cancelling my subscription, even after the service was mostly dead, until one day I happened to have my call answered by an intelligent person who knew how to do it. I am forever thankful to her.
