I think this one is just confused, you punctuate the quotation, not the speaker... thanks Jay.

wouldn't it be more courageous to use your own name? but then that would be plagiarism.....
I think it's great that there was an opportunity to properly use quotation marks, and they totally missed it.
Ugh. Isn't quoting someone the very first thing we learn to do with quotation marks? This makes my brain hurt.
Maybe someone with the odd and rather burdensome name of Nonviolence Is A Way of Life for Courageous People said "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." and it's therefore correct, except that you usually put the name of the person being quoted after the quote.
This one really illustrates just why this blog is necessary.
"Martin Luther King, Jr." I said to myself. "Yeah, that's the ticket. After I initiated that name change, as my parents were a little over-eager for me to change the world..."
