So, if someone comes along, supposedly quoting you while radically changes words you use and your meaning....you will not be upset whatsoever?
As long as the end he gets his listeners to go to is where your quoter wanted them to go, the means are justifiable?
Funny because that was exactly the tack taken by commenters on an article about Al Gore's rhetoric the other day.
April 10th Adam Jones of the Financial Times wrote an article called "Inconvenient truths about Al Gore's gift of the gab."
At the comments section were words and ideas just like yours.
For instance:
"Frankly I don't mind which technique Al Gore uses to get the message through as long as he does....."
"Integrity and truth are noble ideals, but have very little place in today's marketing and communications departments. Why should environmentalists accept the handicap of unbridled honesty?"
"I can't understand the reason of writing an article criticizing Al Gore's lecturing skills. Does this as any relevance with the issue?"
"Broad-brush graphics out-of-context, though wrong, is not only the sin of Al Gore, but also almost all high-level managers everywhere."
You've got plenty of bedfellows.
