  I hate to be That Guy, but I found the massive overuse of exclamation points to be very distracting. I'm not quite at the level of those people who claim that using exclamation points is like laughing at your own jokes, but they should not be a default punctuation choice.

    > I hate to be That Guy, but I found the massive overuse of exclamation points to be very distracting.… [Exclamation points] should not be a default punctuation choice. I think that's overstating it quite a bit. There's one exclamation point in the first four paragraphs. The frequency picks up a bit after that, but I'd hardly call them the default punctuation choice.
