Is your unspoken suggestion that the ends justify the means, fullstop?

What is the fullstop doing here? It's redundant to end a sentence with a literal sentence ending.

Aside: when did we start calling a period "full stop" in US English? I don't remember anyone saying that 15 years ago except British people.

I had a british room mate for a few years, so...

Basically, "are your thoughts on this final and unwavering?". The "fullstop" was externalized towards them, not towards my sentence.
