Even if you get my quote right, make sure you include the context, or else, you're still misquoting me.
When you misquote me, you're lying.
You shouldn't tell lies.

Jermyn?  Seriously? PO quoted your entire post, so she not only quoted you 100% correctly, she DID include context.
FTR, though, posts are not required to be quoted in entirety, and it's okay for people to respond to small snippets that catch their attention. Lying would be typing in something that the original poster didn't actually say, or maybe scrambling the sentences to change the context (I've never really seen anyone do that). If someone gets your context wrong, then you can let them know that isn't what you meant. That's part of discussion.
I'm not sure why there's a bee in your bonnet over PO commenting on your post, but she certainly did NOT misquote you.
