The group is robomoderated. It has nothing to do with content, only with
the number and selection of Usenet groups to which you attempt to
crosspost. Crossposting to more than 4 Usenet groups, including
talk.origins, gets your post whacked. Crossposting to certain support
groups also causes you to crash and burn.

Certain abusive posters get banned, at least until they agree to stop
abuse. One sure way to get banned is to consistently morph your "From:"
header to avoid killfiles. No one is banned on content issues alone.
