It was originally a form of protection against PNing. By putting words in quotes, it's like writing f*ck - you can't be picked on for using an obscene word, but everyone thinks they know what you mean ;-)

But I agree, too much is too much - a stylistic blunder.

Obviously you mean fack - the short version of the swedish word fackförening (labor union). Though as this is the ET and not the FT it is not a dirty word ;-)
