Obviously I wouldn't want to engage in the bad practice of quoting the entire item in full, as this makes it difficult to note which parts I am referring to with my arguments

I agree with the partial quoting part, if everybody quoted full posts we would have 2 posts per page. Maybe you should manually write, at least in the first quote bit, where the qoute comes from.
That's because whenever I see partial quotes I tend to go back and read the whole post to check whether the quotes really reflect the sense of the post or are misleading bits. If the post is mine, as has been the case so far, I know what I have written. But if it's someone else's, one needs to skim every post to find where the quotes come from, and that's not so fun in heated, lengthy debates. It's not that I want to see my name after the
originally posted by bit, just that I prefer to know who has posted.
