You're doing both. Quoting directly is great. The whole "so what you're saying is...." is the paraphrasing.
That is my way of attempting to generate a substantive conversation, in which all views get a fair hearing. I am inviting you to say: "No, FK, that isn't right BECAUSE ...........". If all I get are one word answers like "Nope", then no one learns anything. :)
LOL.
