"Me, writing an email:

I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!"

Ohhhhhh. Penny drops.

I always interpreted those as meaning "so exasperated with you I can't even finish my sentence".

Of late punctuation seems to be interpreted as aggression I will not participate in the madness full stop exclamation point period

I don't. know. whether, to, be, dismayed; or: delighted!

I must be coming across as super aggressive and alpha.
