Personally, deconstructing posts on a regular basis leads to a situation where sentences, phrases and individual words can be taken out of context. I have far more respect for those who look at a post in it's totality, use their intelligence to look beyond individual lines and reply to the overall sentiment.

I'm not saying it's all bad, and sometimes part of a particular post must be quoted to enhance or clarify the reply, however, to do it all the time IMHO, leads to more misunderstanding than clarification.
