Re: let not quote huge blocks of texts
One of my pet grumbles. I skim read threads and don't have time to find the specific paragraph that is being referenced. Since the quote contains a link back to the original post, I can use that if I need to check the full context.

There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.

I'm also not a fan of people's signatures being 3x as long as their post.
There are a couple if plugins already written that could help with the quoting thing. One that turns long quotes into a scrollable section. And one that lets you select what you want to quote before you click reply.

I mean they are not practicing the path of concentration, right speech, right action, right effort, etc. It is not listening and not communicating considerately. Its laziness.
