It is an accurate paraphrasing of what you did say. Do you disagree with that? The paraphrasing is necessary for discussion.
EDIT: I would love to see what an accurate paraphrasing is, then. I've re-read your post and what I stated is dead on with what you claimed, which is a common misunderstanding of the importance or common-agreement of a front-page appearance.
Nope, not accurate. Yes, I do disagree. No, the paraphrasing is not necessary for discussion (???). Not a biggie in the broader scheme of things though.
As a third party "we need to talk about this" and the topic "has merit" are equivalent statements. Granted you may have intended something else, but that's not how it comes across. Anyway, as you did not clarify what did you mean?
