Did he really say those specific words? It's common, on the internet, to use quotation marks to signify "here's what I think someone else is saying, it's not my own belief". (That is also an example of such a usage.)

I don’t necessarily question this exact usage, given we are talking about RMS.

He said those exact words and despite the responses I wasn't trying to remark on his words, only pass along a small moment many of us there found memorable and funny.
