Yes, mistake noted. I was getting so carried away with making the point that I failed to proof read my reply. So I'll admit that mistake on my part.
Looking at it again, and considering the actual purpose of a period, its use as emphasis is incorrect. The intention was clearly to emulate longish breaks between saying each word, which would be more correctly represented using commas.
The idea was to point out that really you shouldn't pick out on details unless you are totally confident that what you are saying is correct - in my case I accept the consequences of being wrong, and really it was just to show Sydney that I wasn't there to take his/her crap.
Well done though that was very observant.
