APA format allows you to omit unnecessary parts of a direct quote and replace them with ellipses as I have done. You were quoted accurately. Only the two sentences presented were essential to my response.
Edit: Upon reading the Chicago Manual of Style, it appears that although my use of ellipses is correct, bracketing them is not. Brackets imply an omission on your end, not an omission on mine.
