I read with some interest that youngsters (people in their 20's and younger) are offended by punctuation and that putting a fullstops at the end of a sentence is considered aggressive! in fact using a fullstops is considered overly hostile

Since reading this, I have now found myself wondering at what point I should use punctuation, when not, I don't want to offend, is someone Black, White, Gay, in-between, sitting on the fence, white and male, but identifies as Black and female... jeez, I'm so confused by this new world.... how should I spell hermit? capital H or not?
