My revision is what I might have said/written. I thought you knew the difference.

I also repeat what you said so that the reader can see what I’m referencing. It is both a clarifying technique that journalists use (to differentiate the original from the new) and it sets up the sequence of the conversation/suggestion/alternative version for the reader to follow.

Your writing style is too burdensome and convoluted for me to make sense of.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
