quote-laundering

The act of citing a source to support a hypothesis and burying the reference in a footnote or endnote that, once investigated, turns out to be irrelevant, spurious or entirely fictitious.

Similar to quote-stuffing, a common practice in academic paper-writing, but not to be confused with quote mining.
I was trying to track down that juicy reference that Malcolm Gladwell dropped about what Nietzsche said about cell phones but it turned out to be total quote-laundering.

quote sniping

The act of "sniping" a quote, i.e taking a sentence or sentences and replying to them individually.

While not being quote mining per se, quote sniping is regarded as a nefarious thing to do while arguing on online forums.
Person 1: Do you agree about X?
Person 2: Yes, because it's a valid arguement.

Person 1: First of all, it's "argument". Silent e's disappear when suffixes are added. Secondly, outright denying blatantly true facts is not a valid argument.

quote sniping at its finest.
