And you call me deceptive? Good grief.
If you're going to re-phrase, doesn't it make sense to re-phrase in such a way that the original speaker agrees? If the original speaker does not agree, then isn't it a misquote on it's face?
It's a re-phrase to you- and you are well aware that the original speaker would NOT agree with it... hence it is clearly you who is being deceptive, I merely pointed it out.
