I didn’t add them. They simply appeared.

Pretend the A%a doohickies aren’t there. Sorta like I try
to pretend “Progressives” aren’t there.

If “Jihadists” come out here; they’re gonna be in for
some major surprises. We live remote; and are sort of
not very “progressive”.

From what I see, the apostrophes or hyphens or other punctuation is written in ANSI text form, like in Windows Notepad, everything is OK. But if print from a fancy-fonted blog is imported into Notepad, it doesn't change the left and right quotations -- single or double -- or question marks or em-dashes into ANSI. Then FR's html converter gives it another interpretation like you say.

What the poster has to do is:

(1) DON'T use a word processor with fancy fonts to paste texting into the FR comment entry box or post editor

(2) DO go through any stuff that you've pasted and convert the non-alphanumeric characters to ANSI by overwriting them by typing them in again using what the FR text editor supplies.

That's what I think I've seen and had to do here.

Copied from the blog onto Clipboard, then pasting it here:

“It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them.

Even worse, those on the regressive left, in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly on themselves, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.

It’s like a bad Monty Python sketch:

“We did this because our holy texts exhort us to to do it.”

Going through and retyping the quotations in tje FR comment editor box results in:

"It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them.

Even worse, those on the regressive left, in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly on themselves, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.
