I remember loading up AOHell and then joining some Christian chat room to start punting and tosing everyone. Then doing the same in some Athiest chat room. If you didn't have like 12 credit card numbers and 20 alt AOL accounts by '94 then you weren't playing AOL right. The internet was such sheer chaos at every turn back then, it was amazing. Talk about tech not anticipating bad actors on their platform, you could write tomes on the history of AOL and all the parallels to today.
