    Occasionally it's warranted. The question/exclamation combo expresses something nothing else can.
    Fun, don't ya think?!
    There's also the trailing question...?
    And there's EVEN the trailing surprise...!
    But yeh, abuses of punctuation without real control over the effect annoys me.
    To.no.end.

    Me! I do... I am ashamed to see how it looks in your question- which yes, does seem aggressive and demanding, though those are your words... *provocative* is a suitable word. My intention is to provoke a response when I do it, so I can easily see how it looks demanding. Also, in terms of being aggressive- if multiple questions are strewn out, and capitals are used more, then yes, otherwise, not so much. [There's some unwritten rule about capital-usage, which I learned the hard way] We quickly learn these things don't we.
