well ok its not barter but isnt a little bit of both?

I mean the auto mechanic does work on the mans car, he then pays with TEM and then in return he could use that to buy olive oil. But If you remove the piece of paper that is the TEM note isnt it just pretty much a barter system?

No, this is exactly what we call a money economy. Without money (in this case TEM's) it would be barter.

Thank you all for replying and clearing things up, please try to keep a positive tone. If someone doesnt know just politely correct them.

To many times on this forum have I seen or had it happen to me where the wrong answer or misinformation leads to someone jumping your shit as if you said the wrong answer to piss them off. Or they just have this attitude that you should have known or that they know all and everyone else is stupid.

anyways..

Just grow a thick skin and carry on. This is the Internet!
