I believe you missed the point

However, if the "whatever" is all that you are focused on, then you are trully missing the value that Susie brings to the forum. Her statements talking about a done deal regarding dates of a reval are only one segment of her forum contribution. Now if that is all you wish to focus on then feel free to get exasperated, but as for many of us, we are happy to see the articles and perspective that she brings to the discussion. The ability to discuss, think and project are part of trying to deduce the direction that the Iraqi Dinar is headed. Mostly it is speculation, but that is what makes this forum and investment interesting. If this investment is of so much critical importance to you that you are willing to burn someone at the stake since you or others have placed all of your eggs in one basket, then I do feel sorry for you. That is trully sad, but as the saying goes Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware).
While it is responsible of someone not to shout FIRE in a theater (i.e. cause a panic), it is not anyone elses responsibilty to hold the reader's hand so that they do not hurt themselves. If someone needs that kind of help then that person is not exercising his/her responsibilities as an adult. That is why anyone under 18 is not allowed to enter into contractual relationships such as an investment. It is called mental maturity in a legal sense and presumes that anyone under the age of 18 is too immature to understand what they are obligating themselves too when they sign a contract. Unfortunately, simply turning 18 years old doesn't guarantee that you become mentally mature. So, in short, if someone gets overly excited because of something that they read on a message board, maybe it is time to mature a little by learning from the mistake. Bad information or advice, along with good information and advice are everywhere, so deal with it or move on.

Although some of what you said may be true, I believe you missed the entire point of what you were repying to. The fact is, whether it is screaming "fire" in a theatre when there isn't one, or claiming you have information that is factual, when in truth that same information is as bogus as a three dollar bill, they are both lies. Therefore, your analysis has holes all through it. Yes, when reading information on any forum requires a degree of maturity, I knew the difference between the truth, and a lie when I was a small boy. I was taught the difference through the seat of my pants. It stuck...and in my opinion as well as I'm sure many others' opinions, when it comes to such an emotionally charged subject as the Iraqi dinar and when it is going to go on the world market, I believe the responsibility of taking a mature approach to the whole subject begins with the person posting the news. False information is still false information, and if it is done for the reason stated by the poster you were replying to, is tantamount to fraud. Let me explain: If anything of monetary value or future monetary value exchanges hands in payment for spreading false information, it is considered "FRAUD". If you don't believe me, check the NASD regulations. More than likely it will be right up there with insider trading. And by the way...if you see that it is necessary to ban me, feel free. I have no regrets for anything I said.
