I’ve been the victim of a misquote that made it look like I said the opposite of what I said, and then that misquote gets further quoted. That’s one proven way to tangle up a forum. 😕 I also use ellipses … if I am quoting only part of what was said, so it’s clear if I am not quoting someone’s entire post. That’s another possible hazard though, to ensure you aren’t changing the meaning by taking part of the words out of context.
