You might have been implying this with your parenthetical but, just to say it, the irony is that the same guy created Comic Sans.

I wasn't implying that, just giving him credit for a great quote.

> In an interview for the Huffington Post, Vincent Connare, designer of Comic Sans, said, “if you love Comic Sans, you don’t know anything about typography. But if you hate Comic Sans, then you don’t know anything about typography either…and you should get another hobby”.

In that case you didn't paraphrase the quote so much as repurpose it.

its neither a paraphrase nor a repurpose, because its not the quote, and its boolean logic doesn't equate to the quote either, comma or not. The original quote only appends "get a new hobby" to one side of the decision logic. This quote has it on both.

Obey De-Morgans law, or not. Yoda doesn't care.
