CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF APPEAL TO IGNORANCE..

This question is based on what we do NOT know. No one except the Webmaster and Accord Man knows precisely why this forum is led by an Accord owner. This serves to compound arbitrarily asserted possibilities.

The burden of proof is on Ralph, the skeptic, to provide some specific reason to doubt a conclusion that an Accord owner cannot run an Acura Type R forum, but none is given.

It is not true that 'how cans' are an epistemological free lunch that can be asserted gratuitously. The case against Ralph is that doubt must always be specific, and can only exist in contrast to things which cannot properly be doubted. In this, he has failed.

Nobody ever said an Accord owner couldn't run a Type R forum properly. It is merely implied by the skeptic and, therefore, unanswerable without assuming Accord owners cannot run a Type R forums. As such, this is a cheap shot and shouldn't be dignified with a response IMO.

Your call guys...
