I believe that quotes (which may or may not be lengthy) are as useful and often as essential on a StackExchange community focused on philosophy as code examples are on StackOverflow.
In this particular case, I don't see any way whatsoever to illustrate the position I'm taking without at least one of those quotes. While I did re-post my answer without the quotesre-post my answer without the quotes following virmaiorvirmaior's removal of the original version, I do believe essential information (in the form of examples) is lost and I consider this modified answer as a mutilation of the original answer.
