I feel that quotes have their place in discussion and that paraphrasing also has its place in a discussion and I respect others that choose to use the style of writing that is confortable to them. There is always room for anyone to construe or misconstrue something regardless of what form or style the writer chooses. I feel that tolerance to individual differences in writing style, while admitting that any style of writing has the potential to be unclear, could further the support and education aspects of this board by requesting clarification when one needs it to better understand what another has written. As for your request for me to accomodtate your preferences to not use paraphrasing, I could do that.
