(04:57:24) Sange: just a quick note to any mod who may read this, anyone who quotes shit ``like this" on /jp/ is Tokiko, aka proxy-reporter and one of the sole reasons why /jp/ is so bad
(04:58:10) Sange: he doesn't quote like "this", he uses `` for the first part
(04:59:11) Sange: on the boards it looks way different, so it's easy to see
(05:03:13) ~moots: why does he quote with backticks
(05:04:46) ~moots: a web proxy service?
(05:05:35) Sange: he says it's the right to quote
(05:06:38) Sange: it's something he read on /prog/ apparently
(05:07:41) Sange: right way*
(05:08:55) Sange: he proxy-reports using different AOL IPs

no amount of cleaning could ever remove the stain of hobby programmers from /prog/
it's like 60% memespam and 40% hobby programmers bickering over languages people don't actually use

This ``ThinMint'' janitor apparently has contemptuous attitude towards people programming for a hobby. Presumably he codes for food in Jave or PHP and he is not really happy about that, so he is jealous of people coding languages they love.

Actually the `quotes' is a long running computing meme. They are used to discern opening quotes from closing ones. Notably Unix manpages employ them; for example "man man" command has following line

If you see blinking \255 or <AD> instead of hyphens, put `LESS-CHARSET=latin1' in your environment.
