I stated the following:

Rely on Joseph Smith and other Mormon leaders, or perhaps Zakeet.

As my response to her following statement:

I would never rely on you for any information on this matter.

From which the poster claimed I stated to her thus:

What in the world might you even be talking about...if you are saying that I am a Mormon, if you are sayiang that I follow the teachings of Joseph Smith, or that I follow other Mormon leaders or Zakeet. you would then be a liar....a spreader of falsehood...

I have never been a Mormon, I am not now studying to be a Mormon, and I dont foresee ever becoming a Mormon...

But you, for whatever reason, have seen fit to intimate that I follow the teachings of Joseph Smith, other Mormon leaders and Zakeet...there is enough bad that one can say about me or anyone else, so spreading lies and falsehoods is stupid, and unChristian...

Exactly how can it be assumed that those words were not intentionally misrepresenting the eleven words that I said?

I do not care who started it or the previous conversation. The warning was caused by this phrase in your post 478:

you intentionally misrepresented my posts

Attributing motives or otherwise reading the mind of another poster is "making it personal."

It is fine to say another poster has misrepresented you, but to say "intentionally" is to attach motive, the intent to deceive.
