I first got on phone in 1966 on A.M. with my DX-60.  I don't remember a lot 
of really bad behavior back then, even over the issue of A.M. vs. SSB, 
although admittedly the war was winding down by then.  However, I remember 
handling some emergency traffic back in the late 1980s, and there were some 
folks harassing the emergency net on 20 meters.  That would have been 
unheard of back in the '60s.  I think the overall behavior has gotten worse, 
although admittedly I work mainly CW where folks have always been mostly 
well behaved as someone pointed out.
