Doesn’t indiscriminate use of exclamation marks connote sarcasm in contexts like these (while we are being pedantic ;-/) ?

On that point, the only good Trump ever did me was get my dad to reconsider the use of all caps …I finally managed to convince him that all caps typing indicates shouting not emphasis.
