And a gentle reminder, intended politely; if you want to start a conversation with what appears to be a contentious quote, it would be a courtesy to the author of the quote to reproduce, exactly, the words and punctuation used by the author of the quote. This has the double benefit of ensuring that the author is not misrepresented and that subsequent readers understand the quote correctly.

Cheers, Rowan
