What part of the guidelines are you referring to?
Also, despite the quotation marks, I don't think they mean to quote you. They're just rephrasing you as they understood you.
Coincidentally enough, I've just done that too in another comment:

I'd say "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" covers this case pretty squarely (from <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15892014#15893789 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15892014#15893789>) See also: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38688831#38690517 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38688831#38690517> plus lots (and lots) more.
