And here I was thinking that it might be about a quote that explodes. Or teaming up with a quote that you don't like to battle a common enemy.
In seriousness, "quote mining" is a pre-existing term. I don't think it's causing any misuse either, though it doesn't have all that many wicks.
The trope is the definition of what the pre-exiting term Quote Mine means. I am not really seeing the problem here. It's a common term. It means exactly what the trope says. What's the issue?

Sorry. I've never heard Quote Mine outside the wiki. I guess its more common than I'm aware.

I've been well familiar with the term Quote Mine meaning exactly what does in this article long before I first even came to This Wiki.

Yep. Locking this. Remember, there's a redirect from Quote Mining.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Just looking at the trope you'd assume it had something which you can use for a lot of cool quotes. But its really "putting quotes out of context to Strawman your opponent." The current title is very vague.
How about a simple Quoting Out Of Context or Cut And Paste Confession?
