Tempest and MegaRan and others (yes, there have been more than two) were not ripped off arbitrarily, they were ripped off because they made good songs. Forgive me for thinking a person who struggles with first semester harmonic theory might compose bad music, but all it takes to prove my assumption wrong is a link to a good song.

If anyone is interested, the first workbook for the classes I took is available here: https://online.berklee.edu/store/produc … p;usca_p=t

There are four, one for each class/semester. If you look at the syllabus for the corresponding class and understand all the topics there, you can skip ahead to the one at your level, and expect to spend 12-16 weeks on each book (if you really dig into it, and can grasp it without needing a teacher.)

When you apply as an in-person student, you are tested on harmony and ear training, and placed into the level appropriate to your results. For instance, I tested into Harmony 3 but needed to start from Ear Training 1.

Is that why you don't know that scale degrees can be represented using roman numerals, and when you are backed into a corner by logic and references you default back to I'm a big expert from a university with a big university music theory book?

You didn't understand the page you referenced. In the first figure on that page are the triads spelled over the C major scale, with their roman numerals by degree just like I explained:

I - C major
ii - D minor
iii - E minor
IV - F major
V - G major
vi - A minor
viiº - B diminished

As you can see, caps represent major triads, lowers represent minor.

The most important truth however, and the lesson I spent a little too much energy ignoring in school, is that all the knowledge in the world isn't helpful if you aren't sociable enough to have other people talking about and sharing the music you're making.

Also the world needs Prince memes.

does being banned for two separate posts in two separate threads on the same day have any particular implications

Sad, we have to wait a week to jump down someone's throat. I guess we'll have to go back to normal discussions that are constructive now and then.

He was at the end of his rope and both those posts were each reported twice, so those were the posts that caused the ban in the end.
