Oh dear me, Vince, I asked you to lay off the extraneous exclamation marks, that's all. How that translates into "Never post on this board again, gay person," I'm not sure.

Still, perhaps we've located the problem:
"(with exclamation marks!! used as spacing!! and not to emphisise anything!!!)"
Exclamation marks are used to denote emphasis, strong feeling or surprise. The spacebar is for spacing.

You may find the following link useful:

Especially this remark:
"[E]xclamation marks are usually out of place in formal writing. Using them frequently will give your work a breathless, almost childish, quality."
So as you can see, it's not just me who finds it irritating to the point of getting a headache.

Lay off the shrieks and everything will be cool. It's not like you can get banned for misusing punctuation. (Otherwise it would be very quiet around here, and also I'd have to ban myself, heheh.)
