Publishing Information Computer Source Magazine Locations April 2000 Censorship is an evil necessity. As a writer, it bothers me to say that, as an editor, it is something I do almost every day. I read every article written for this magazine, and inevitably something gets challenged in each of them.
Language is often at the top of the list.
Four letter words are a common enough form of expression in real life, and our writers often want to include them in their articles and editorials. There is no law that says we can't put four letters words into the magazine. We spent the better part of a work-day afternoon dealing with the pros and cons of the issue. Then we came to a conclusion and part of that resolve is William Van Winkles' two-part story on children and the Internet. Kids use computers and kids use the Internet.
