That button is for multi-quoting.

For example, if you click that button on 3 different posts then hit "Post reply", all 3 posts will be quoted in your reply. It's red when a post is selected for quoting.

If you don't want to quote another post, and you don't want to load the full post editor page to reply.

Quotes only turn red if they are acidic.
Alkaline quotes turn blue.

I guess thats what people somtimes do when they jus post a sentence or 2... but by doin that... somtimes it ant clear what ther talkin about or who ther talkin to.!!!

BTW---I had a practical use of the "red-qoute" buttons while ago an its very helpful... cause now i dont have to search aroun an cc&p thangs i wanted to include in my replys.!!!
