whats up with the "the" threads?

[Master Shake]

can someone explain why they have to use the quotations? or you just trying to make it stand out saying its "the" thread for whatever.

Because we are licensed to do so (see sig)

[5thgcelica]

cause they can.

[HyPer50]

shut "the" friggidilly up, g'night ha.

[Master Shake]

is it really necessary for quotations though?
and not everyone who posts those "the" threads have the license in their sig....but they still do it.
