I didn't put any words in anyone's mouth. I said you were manifesting a zeitgeist. But honestly you're manifesting another intellectually dominant school of thought. Whereby if anyone does anything less than word for word block quote it's: "i didnt say that. You're wrong." I can absolutely characterize your speech and identify it's meaning and regurgitate it all without resorting to quotes. In fact quotes are a pretty weak form of displaying understanding.

When you start a comment with "the problem is" and then also add "customers are hurt", well, I would say it's not unreasonable to infer you are expressing a negative opinion on public traded companies.
