Prejudice in science fiction
Yes, it is possible to quote only a part of the previous post. When you click on the “respond with quote” icon, the system gives you the text of the post that you clicked the icon of. Now, you can delete parts of the reproduced text at the top of your screen, just keeping the paragraphs or sentances you are responding to. I often do this. You can also quote different parts of a post by cutting and pasting the quote beginning and ending H.T.M.L. codes around the different parts. It is even possible to quote parts of several different posts by different people using the cut and paste function. You can also paste the quotes onto a WordPro (or presumably another writing program) file and compose your post there. That’s what I do a lot of the time, especially when I’m responding to more than two posts at once.
