David Iain Greig, the moderator of talk.origins has recently went on a
rampage about my posts. He has claimed they were off-topic. All of my
posts have an implication on origins. The charter of talk.origins says
speech will only be limited by a cross-posting limit (4). David has gone
beyond the charter and begun to set arbitrary and unspecified limits on
topic, this amounts to CONTENT CENSORSHIP. I don't agree with CONTENT
CENSORSHIP and doubt many people do.

You are wrong, DIG does as he wants. the 4 cross post is a joke. if
you post to TO and ARJW and two more, your cross-post is cut to two
groups.
Dale you are wasting your time.

Jabs; go play in the corner with your crayons. There are several
groups which cannot be crossposted with talk.origins AT ALL. Your
gripe about ARJW is stupid, because that restriction is based on your
own abuses. Why not gripe about the others, too? Are all of those
bans also "content moderation"?

I agree there are a number of groups with which cross-posting is not
permitted from talk.origins.

I know this because I did a cross-post once involving alt.atheism and
consequently it didn't work.

On enquiring with David this was explained to me and I accepted it as
part of the moderation process within talk.origins.

Now if I can manage this, how come others cannot?

You can manage it because you are a person who does not demand that
the newsgroup conform to your personal ideas on how it should work. I
had a similar experience when xposting to alt.religion.scientology.
When it didn't go through, I asked DIG if crossposts to a.r.s. were
blocked. He replied 'Yes', and so that's where I left it. I may
not like the fact that I can't xpost to a.r.s., but I don't like it in
the same way I don't like the fact that I look more like humpty-dumpty
than Mr. Universe. So I accept it. Simple, eh?

On the other hand, another person, who is perhaps narcissistic enough
to believe that xposts = moderation because it deprives the
usenetverse of their wildly xposted wisdom, might not understand, and
may even tend to get upset. So be it. Their little hissy-fits remind
me of those of my two-year old. When he doesn't get his way, he tends
to throw himself down on whatever available surface presents itself.
This sometimes causes additional problems, for example, when the
surface is cement, or hardwood flooring. He learns, however, and
recently has taken to finding a softer surface, sometimes running for
several yards to find a rug, pillow, or even sandbox before throwing
himself down.

This raises a question; If my two-year-old is capable of learning
consequences of actions, why do some (presumably adult) posters have
such a difficult time?
