48. I had hoped that the sardonic nature of the "quote" was self-evident

To compare and contrast with a direct quotation:

My experience and opinion are mine, alone. Others have their own.

But I agree that placing quotation marks around hyperbolized-MM might be confusing to readers who aren't acquainted with your mannerisms. I don't think my intentions were deceitful, but I can empathize with your dismay at being "misquoted" (<- scare quotes, not a direct quote per se)
