Bas - you have my sympathy in that you seem to be having such difficulty in perceiving the gist of my post but understanding my point of view is not the issue you raised.
The issue which you raised was one of how the comments reported in an article were presented and which concern has now lead to pointless additional posts about quotations and their validity, in turn creating something of a petty (and irrelevant) debate on a thread which deals with a topic of some gravity.
For me this is enough said on the matter. I'm sorry you don't get it.
