Multi quoting one post?

Does anyone know how to quote someone's post in sections to be able to address each thing written individually? Thanks.

You mean quote one individual post that has numerous statements? You have to do that manually. Simply copy and paste the start quote tag of the poster's statement and copy/paste the end quote tag at the end of the poster's statement. Then add your comment. See attachment.

That would make the multiple shaded sections of the same quoted post?

Multi quote is used to quote several different posts within the same thread. It does nothing if you want to simple quote one specific post but break it into individual statements for you to pick it apart.

Not for one individual post. It would require an extensive software write with extensive options in order to accommodate splitting one specific post into numerous sections to be commented on. The software wouldn't know where the member wants to split one specific post - every new paragraph, every sentence, every few sentences, etc.
