Anyway, back on topic, prior to retirement…that quotation marks thing with two fingers like rabbit ears was one of the more annoying features to spread through meetings I attended.

Very irritating, along with the fact that we still can’t be considered grown up enough to use words like v*tal, s*x, t*en and p*edophile on here.
Nice to see you sticking up for the boss again

The ***** thing is a bit daft and well past its sell by date, the others however have a reason if I recall my modship elsewhere, and that's that they prevent sickos/perverts/scammers and the like from identifying potential conversations that they can infiltrate and influence. In these strange days it also has the unintended impact of keeping away those from totally the other end of the spectrum who seek to find offence in what (in our case for instance) are such words used innocently and pertinently in general discussion.
