Or maybe they just don't want to feature newsgroups which are moderated in a highly biased fashion in order to shield a clique of extremists from reality. You know, because that's not what usenet is supposed to be about.

Hats off to them if that's the case: they must be aware that when a customer pays for a usenet service, they expect certain standards, and since URCM falls so far below those standards, including it is probably more likely to anger customers than omitting it. URCM is not a proper newsgroup and not what one signs up for when they access usenet. Nor will it be until the likes of you are deposed.
