Yeah I think what I dislike about that is it breaks up the flow of whatever I am writing. There’s a coherence that is lost.
I’m accustomed to reading books or essays where there might be an excerpt, but more likely a paraphrase of what the author considers their opponent’s argument to be. This makes it helpful at times to pinpoint a misunderstanding in the author.
But yeah, having consistent rules on the internet for posting is a losing battle I think. More or less thinking out loud, appreciate the comment.

No, It doesn’t have to.
You can just write it out straight, without formatting, and then after you’re done that go back and add the asterisks to emphasize the parts that you want to emphasize, already having your thoughts jotted down.

Fair, this might be a stylistic thing. I’ll def try and see how it goes.
