In order to quote text, you normally have to highlight the text and the click the “Quote” button that appears. However, you cannot highlight text blurred by a spoiler tag, so you cannot quote the spoiler text (without quoting the whole post). Ideally you should be able to quote the spoiler text, and have it still have surrounded by spoiler tags.
