Great idea! Should be interesting and educational. Sure hope the people that routinely disrupt threads don't teach others their 'skills'. We sure don't need more of them.

I think that would be a great idea. Maybe some unofficial guidelines. Nothing about:
1.) Muslims
2.) Jews
3.) The Pope
4.) Israel
5.) End Times
6.) Obama
7.) Name The NAZI
8.) Gun Rights by State
9.) Police
10.) Anything to do with New Zealand vs. USA

And that should about do it.

That's a great benefit.
Thank you, Housewolf!

I re-read the OP and it does say classes. But I was thinking skills when the interest was seed saving. So classes on anything or more to the skills area? Personally I would prefer the forum more regulated to life skill such as how to get'er done and I don't mean how to get along with a spouse or boss at work even though that is a skill.

As for me, even those subjects would not be a problem if someone feels they have enough knowledge about a subject to teach it.

The main problem I see would be is just the people that like to disrupt thread with their ignorance or whatever. One suggestion might be that if whoever starts the thread has the ability to have unwanted posts deleted. It would be their class, and they should have the right to have some control over their class. Anyone who doesn't like it probably shouldn't be there anyway.

I think I will start a thread on how Obama is really the Black Pope which forces the Jews to economically neuter the muslims, who in turn invade Israel under the leadership of Neo Nazis in a police action that creates a political rift between New Zealand and the USA. All this strife will threaten the gun rights for those that still have them, and the inevitable internecine conflict will bring about the end times.

So it is written.

I wish to have complete autonomy over the thread, and delete all of RightWinger's posts no matter the content, merely out of philosophical principle.

That took talent.

Good luck with your class on the above subject, perhaps you may even find a few people that will follow you.

Its unlikely I would make any posts on that subject, but I think I understand why you would want to delete them out of your philosophical principle. For it is written:

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. - Colossians 2:8 KJV

avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him. - Titus 3:9-10 ESV
　
Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge," - 1 Timothy 6:20 ESV

Yet you felt compelled to respond.

That's why it is necessary to convey the notion, in a preemptive fashion, to tell you to stick it up your ass.

I have it on good authority that the Almighty thinks you're a dick.

Still only rumor.

Yet you felt compelled to respond.

Yes, not so much for either of us, but to bring it to the attention of some of the other people here on TOL that may not be aware of it.

If this is your typical way of thinking, I can understand why you are no longer married. At least to a woman anyway. A few months ago (about the time you received some vacation time for the "hey douchebag" thread you started in the C.O.C., I told you that I thought you were delusional then and hoped you would get it properly treated. Apparently you haven’t or it just hasn’t kicked in yet. If you haven’t started getting professional help, now would be a good time to give it some serious thought.

I have it on good authority that the Almighty thinks you're a dick.

Its obvious that your god is not the same as my God. I hope you wise up before its to late.

Sorry for the thread drift folks. It appears Chicom needs the help more than this tread needed to stay on target. And now, back to the subject of classes.

(Note to Grower, well done, glad you are stepping forward with the first class.)
