Apparently my usenet filter is broken.

Actually, people take issue with you posting to groups that hold no
relevance to your posts, especially when you post about your personal
issues and problems that don't relate to any single group.

But you don't follow them?

I don't care for your reasons or behavior, but that you've been
repeatedly asked not to post your feelings about LISP in the Python,
Perl, and Ruby groups.

So, use that instead of posting to random, off topic groups on usenet.

You post here, I reply to you here.

Irrevant to your posting here without relevance.  I have no desire to
talk to you and say anything else.  So, can you stop cross posting to
the same 5 groups every time you post something, unless it's actually
relevant to the group?

Just please stop posting to groups that hold no relevance, as if they
are your personal blog.  Usenet is not a blog.

I'm sure.

I'd think anyone superior to me would understand how to use usenet
properly.

I'm being genuine and sincere, when I say that I'd like to ask that you
stop cross posting to irrelevant groups.  Thanks for your
consideration.
