More irrelevance.

There would be no reason to quote them, period.

No reason not to either, logically.

choice of who to quote taint them themselves

Genetic fallacy: your "taint" concept is irrational. Again, a quote may be mentioned more for its content than who said it.

Like here: the commenter merely wrote that person is known to have said something relevant to the topic. Instead of addressing the substance of that message they're referring to, responses distract themselves with who said it.
