I'd say that if the person is not motivated enough to actively read the posts in the thread then they don't merit any sort of meaningful discussion. A thread is to be read in full, not just when somebody quotes you.

Usually when somebody doesn't use the Quote button, it's because they know that Itheir argument is weak, but want to appear as if they got the last word in.

That's odd. You don't seem to understand how actual debate works. The strength of one's argument has nothing to do with whether or not they repeat the opposing argument verbatim before beginning their own. 

Do you truly believe that someone who is too lazy to read a thread's content has any possible standing in potential debates about the thread's content?
