This is interesting for two reasons.
As far as I know, you are the very first person to misrepresent my statements.
Second reason is that the copyright in statement that you added to my original statements is owned by you.

My copyright is not transferred. It is totally disclaimed. Given your position with Open Access, you should be very careful with the words.

Such is the price of the freedom of speech. There will be always some stupid people in the world who want to misrepresent my statements. When people find out that they distorted my statements, their reputation will sink pronto. If people find out that you added to what I wrote, they will wonder what is your motivation and whether you are a honest person. The consequence of the morally wrong actions usually take care of itself without the help from the copyright law because of the universal law of consequence - nobody is free from the consequence of his actions.
Lastly, I am not letting one out of 6,000,000,000 people to force me to retain my copyright when I don't want it.
