Partial quotes

Partial quotes
I see in the rules that members' posts can be quoted in full or part, providing the text is not changed. But there is no mention of partially quoting in such a way that the original meaning is changed.

If I said 'I believe in God as much as I believe in the tooth fairy' and someone just quoted me as saying 'I believe in God' I would be very annoyed. This happened recently on another forum.

What woulld be the situation here?
