It depends. I use it when people I want to respond make one statement and use different arguments to support it. I think it gives a better view than quoting a whole post at ones and dumping all your counter-arguments under it, or just quote and change the text in the quote to something like long story.

It's bad if you're taking things out of their context so that the meaning changes a lot and start to attack that.
