Simply Amazing!!
After reading the usual web sites that are of interest each morning I came across a posting by one of those heavy hitters on a dinar forum. I use the words “Heavy Hitter” lightly as it means copying and pasting news articles to keep people from leaving the dinar forum and coming back for more. Even if it means removing content from the American Contractor’s Blog and also calling it there own.
Apparently my commentary on July 1st is becoming a reality for some folks in this dinar world. A certain member on a dinar forum has fallen on hard times and unwilling to sell the dinar in their possession, now all of sudden a fund raising campaign is born.
It is amazing to me that members are contributing funds to help this particular member out which is remarkable and says a lot about the members of the forum. My hat goes off to you all that have contributed funds to help out this particular member.
I can’t help but think if you all could organize for a cause like this and raise over $1000.00 for someone most if not all of you have never met or personally know, just think what you all could have done concerning this investment.
Just think what could have happened if someone organized a very large group and collected funds to invest in Iraq the correct and legal way then having to associate with a bank that does not have your best interests in mind. Or worse buy Iraqi dinars and hope for that RV that is never going to happen.
It is simply amazing!!

I am a member of the forum you are referring to. Yes we do copy and paste from sources such as American Contractor,we don't just make stuff up and post it.We have to get our information from somewhere. We have gotten some good info from your site. You can be negative all you want about the future of the dinar,time will tell, but the person you are referring to is a well respected member,and has never himself copied anything from American Contractor,although I have myself.I don't think it's fair to bash someone for finding and posting good information.He is not a dealer.There have been a few dealers as members but I don't believe there are at this time.There are sponsored sites on the forum that help pay the expense of maintaining the forum. Thanks for letting me vent.

Dinaro’s I want to thank your for taking the moment and posting your comments on the American Contractor Blog.
My post was not a bash or to belittle anyone for helping each other out. I am glad the person is getting help as the dinar forum members are motivated in doing so. I have no problem with that at all.
As far as copying information it is a standard with protected copyrights that you post a small short paragraph of the text that your copying and also provide the credit or in this case a link to where the information is exactly located. Since you have admitted to doing exactly that… I hope in the future you will properly credit the web site when you are copying and pasting information that is not yours.
People on the dinar forums have copied information and not properly credit the American Contractor blogger of providing the commentary for the particular post. I just hope it gets corrected in the future.
As far as me being negative on the dinar I am actually not I merely provide commentary on what I think people should know so that they can make an informed decision. I hate to see people get taking advantage of when dealing with Iraqi dinars.
Have you ever noticed when I post something good and in-line with your views (pro-dinar crowd) I am golden. And when I give an opposite view (dinar-critic) I am the blogger people announce to stay away from.
Stay dry I see that it has been raining a lot today.

Point well taken,will give credit where credit is due in the future.You do post some pertinent information that we can use. No one knows for sure where the Dinar is headed,but we are hoping for the best outcome.A lot has happened in 4 years that all point to something positive.Thanks for your to the point response.
