This reminds me of the younger generation sometimes perceiving messages ending in a period as rude.

I'm also sometimes surprised by how effectively a simple statement like "I don't want to spend money on that" can shut down even a pushy salesman. Or even the simple "No." can work wonders.

I've never seen any comments regarding a single period, but I've seen comments (and sometimes agree with them) regarding the perceived rudeness when ending messages in ellipses.

"Good job..." seems almost sarcastic compared to "Good job.".

    Good job.
seems almost patronizing in comparison with

    good job
Then again, I grew up on IRC.
