Oh and You could easily start a thread about me selling you bad animals, but unlike adam I will gladly come and defend my name and tell my side of the story(if there was one). Do you see my point?

Adam's lack of response doesn't prove anything. You say it's proof enough of his guilt, I saw it's proof that he's smart enough not to waste his time fighting innuendo.
Let me ask you this Mark. If I did post a thread about you saying you'd sold an IBD infected animal (or that you're a child molester, drug user, etc) but refused to offer any proof, HOW would you defend yourself??
Can you prove you DIDN'T sell me an animal? NO, you can't.
Can you prove that that animal DIDN'T die of IBD? NO, you can't.
There's a basic tenant of logic, Mark, that says you can't prove a negative.
That's why the burden of proof falls on the accuser to prove that (XXXX) DID happen.
And if you were so confident in you abilities to "easily defend" yourself, why do you care what example I use? I think it's because you know that people WILL take accusations as proof. But that's not the way things are supposed to work on the BOI.
Really, the only reason I've used IBD as an example is that everyone knows what it is, and it's easy to type.
