       someone has appended a kill file that kills all the files in
       alt.sex.motss.  This is in inexcusable homophobia and if I do not
       receive an explanation I will certainly file a harrassment complaint
       with the institute against SIPB

None of the News maintainers at MIT have done anything to filter
alt.sex.motss or any other newsgroup.  Please calm down and explain
what you are talking about when you claim that "someone has appended a
kill file," and we will try to help you.

Do you mean that when you read alt.sex.motss in xrn, you get messages
telling you that articles are being killed?  Or do you simply mean
that you aren't seeing any new messages in the newsgroup?  Or are you
talking about something else?  We can't help you unless you give us
more detailed information.
