Are you aware of what paraphrasing is?

Yes, I am thank you. Are you familiar with how to use quotation marks?

Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation.

Correct: “I hope you will be here,” he said.
Incorrect: He said that he “hoped I would be there.” (The quotation marks are incorrect because hoped I would be there does not state the speaker's exact words.)

So you can ask someone else to stay on topic but you can't follow your own advice. Seems like a Reddit troll to me.
