I've more important things to be arsed about than the "misleading" nature of an unattributed quote meant to summarize my take on one side's position in nine pages of debate on an internet message board. That said, I don't think it is misleading at all if I were to present it as a side-by-side comparison to direct quotes I could give a shit to dig up. But, feel free to plug in gratuity, hopelessness, fear, futility or whatever the exact words you and G-Man used into the quote. The reading is generally similar regardless of which word is used.
