multiple punctuation marks

I am very much annoyed by people who send me e-mails or instant messages with unecessary multiple punctuation marks like "?" and "!".  I think it is ugly to the eyes and seems childish and immature.  To me it is no different RECEIVING E-MAIL IN ALL CAPS.

A few days ago I made someone angry for saying that I do not like to see multiple punctuation marks with her correspondence to me.  She said I was being paranoid.  Some people can be incoherent!

Is it wrong to have some standards to your communication?  Some people just cannot accept feedback.
