Now, to put it into context for the board here, I'll use network television as an example. The networks have standards and practices boards. Material considered objectionable (nudity, graphic violence, expletives) are not allowed on the air. Is this censorship? Absolutely not. This is working within acceptable boundaries, which each and every one of us does in our real lives. What the issue is here on the board has nothing to do with censorship (as Gene has claimed). It has to do, if you will, with the standards and practices of The Chip Board. The FCC is the guardian of the standards and practices of the networks. Brian Watts is the guardian of the standards and practices of The Chip Board.
