The best thing to do is to have everything in the original post, along with the extra you want, and let FR tell you if it's over the limit. I think it says how far over the legal limit for the original news site you went (do note some sites have no limits and you won't be restricted from posting all of it, if so).

When you have the above fitting within the posting limit, cut out the special quotes you want in your separate comment(s) and paste them there. You will now have kept FR from getting a nastygram and you still have some original article AND all of your special quotes where you wanted them.

Sounds cool?

So the article is long, way over 300 words, if I use this phrase

From the article:

“and then insert a paragraph or two in quotes in my first comment, is that acceptable, or not?”

And the other business with roosgirl refers to another thread this morning that was pulled due to flamewars which were not so bad , IMO.
