Just a question

For pity's sake, using direct quotation is a form of abuse?

Another example of why i use direct quotation.

It is noted that Y's aspirations are high - I should let her enjoy them. When did I say she couldn't aspire? Did I ever say she could not learn about wine?

The original post said she is taking a new job and needs to be come an expert in recommending wines for that job. As she has the job already "I've recently been given an opportunity to work at a place" (That means she has already received the opportunity) I said that could not learn this skill in time for the job. I said "You cannot become "well informed" in a month or even two".

Perhaps if you would directly quote, you would not unfoundedly accuse me of dampening her aspirations.

Responses longer than mine tell me that I am too elaborate in my posts.

I am told I directly quote too often - I used two in my response to Yabloka.

So as you suggest, I ask myself - just as I thought - it turns out it is indeed you who are wrong.

No skin off my nose. If you don't like how I write, don't read my responses. You'll learn a lot less, but you'll be happier. Those that are adult enough to read and understand what I am saying without getting their jockeys in a knot will accrue the benefits.
