This explains it

Rioting may be mostly peaceful, but use of punctuation is violence, according to a recent study.

According to experts, youngsters used to communicating electronically break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate message, rather than using a full stop, which they use only to signal they are annoyed or irritated. 

So there you go. Stop using punctuation, you violent boomers.

    Is calling a period a full stop one of those British English things? ("Brits and Americans are two people divided by a common language") The only place I've ever heard the term full stop used was in dictating telegrams.
