>no administrator has tried to mess with it

they did censor (i.e. delete) physics professor walter lewin's popular physics videos because at some very advanced age he was still making known his interest in coeds (or something like that) and, rather than celebrate his robust health and appetites, they decided to unperson him.



"Robust health and apetites" is an interesting euphemism for creep.


Whatever. The world is a slightly worse place because those lectures were pulled offline... and the world is a much worse place because of the entirely-predictable overreaction to such actions.


Creep or not, the lectures were great. I hope they're at least available somewhere. Edit: ah someone put them on YouTube
