I think Jonathan made it clear the he didn't think you were deliberately misrepresenting, just that unintentional misrepresentations are a lot more likely with paraphrases.
May I ask why you prefer paraphrasing? I realize that it makes it easier to highlight certain words, but doesn't highlighting certain words in a whole statement almost by definition change the meaning and intent of the original statement, since the words were not highlighted in the original statement?
Or of course your preferance for paraphrasing might be for some entirely different reason.
