Why do people highlight passages in articles? If the emphasis isn't placed in the original article, then it shouldn't be highlighted when it's excerpted. Furthermore, I think people are capable of reading something and making up their own mind about it without someone hitting them over the head. In fact, adding one's own emphasis in an excerpt is counterproductive because it antagonizes the people whose opinions we might wish to influence.
