I hate it when people string together exclamation points.
I think computers should be equipped with stealth software which (1) emits a loud buzzing noise every time the user types !. If the user types !! a mild electric shock is delivered. If the user attempts a THIRD consecutive exclamation mark, the program alerts “the authorities.”
Don’t you think this is a good idea???
Which reminds me of another pet peeve…
Terry Prachett put in one of his books that more than four exclamation marks was a sure sign of mental deterioration, or at any rate, impoverishment.
If you’re going to have a hard-wired solution to the exclamation-mark overpopulation, -and it gets my vote - can we have one for full-stops (=“periods”) so that all these people that make official forms are noticed, too?
Hah!
You never see a bunch of commas in a row.
But what if what you’re typing is really, super important or exciting? Then you need a sting of exclamation points. It’s almost a law or something. I’m sure of it.
Either that or my mental state is far worse than even I thought! 
And look what’s become of him!!!
(Bold emphasis added.)
That’s what Dale is saying: you need to be stung for using too many exclamation points. 
yeah ive got this thing about punctuation it really bugs me when somebody doesnt capitalize the first letter of a sentence or end it properly punctuation really makes reading so much easier oh i can deal with the occasional typo after all nobody ever said that the world could be a perfect place then again it seems that in the world of the internet text messaging in particular contributed to bad punctuation in a way its almost like having to learn another language indeed ive come to a point where when i see notably bad punctuation im likely to simply not bother reading whatever has been said id bet that im not alone in that reaction either really maybe its time to post a poll about such a thing hey maybe we could even get something going here a new internet standard which emphasizes at least a modicum of punctuation so a show of hands please who would like to see something like that i know i would how about you
e? e! e! e! e! e!
WHO NEEDS EXCLAMATION POINTS WHEN YOU CAN TYPE EVERYTHING ALL CAPS ARE GET REALLY ANNOYING IN SHORT ORDER???
Would you rather see this? !!!
Or this?
Hey, don’t upset the Oppressor… I don’t want him getting on me for my incessant use of " … ".
What annoys me is emotikons. They’re bad enough, but bad animated emotikons are the devil’s work. Even setting my site prefs to “no animated emotikons” worked only sporadically. Luckily, I finally found the way to set my Opera preferences to block all images from the Chiff shitty animations vault, and that has worked better.
I’ll defend that one, which I use a lot.
‘…’, while it employs a period, is not used to complete a declarative sentence. It is a device to keep a sentence open-ended, often with intent to lead the reader toward a particular implied conclusion. If you can’t deal with that… 
Actually, I was referring to strings of question marks. You’ll have to fight each other about the … thing.
Whew! off the hook! 
well…
You were???
The only way to get rid of multiple question marks is to get rid of the “WTF” that so often precedes it.
When did it become okay to shorthand foul language as if that makes it less offensive than spelling it out?
Okay, I got that out of my system!!!
People aren’t trying to be less offensive; they’re trying to get past the censor software. 
I see what you mean. The W follow by T followed by F that I wrote within the quotes didn’t make it to light, did it?
