Here is what Maggie typed:

before you to begin to develop a genuine moral compass that rises above the kindergarden level of "fighting is bad" and "two wrongs don't make a right".

I think it is painfully obvious that she wasn't actually attempting to attribute the phrase "fighting is bad" as something that X said word for word.

I think that it is an obvious oversimplification in order to make a point. It's as if to say, "this is what your argument boils down to for me." (Whoops, I used double quotes.. no, I'm not implying that Maggie typed those words.)

Now, let's try it without the quotation marks:

before you to begin to develop a genuine moral compass that rises above the kindergarden level of fighting is bad and two wrongs don't make a right.

Wow, that's pretty darn unreadable.

I might possibly begin to understand why some see the use of quotes there as incorrect, but X went as far as to say that I should have known, from examining all of his previous posts, that <I>single</I> quotes meant intentional paraphrasing, while <I>double</I> quotes meant literal repeating.

That's the distinction I was referring to, and I believe you'd be hard pressed to find many people who attribute the same connotation to them.
