I do not think public domain means that you can take an article, twist its meaning and pretend that the author means something completely different. Public Domain means you are allowed to quote it, use the statement in your own documents. But not to defame the author by claiming something he did not say
when releasing your work under public domain, you relinquish your rights under the law of copyright - but you still have all your rights under the law of torts and criminal law. Which means that if someone distorts what you said, and attributes it to you, you can sue them or prosecute them.
Interesting. But do you still retain the copyright, and others dont need permission from you to use subject to torts and criminal law?
