"I used quotation marks to sarcastically comment on John's intelligence."

Quotation marks are not for emphasis. They are for quoting something, as the name implies. Also, periods inside quotation marks are an actual part of American English as far as I am aware, or at the very least literature wise. So, no, I disagree and will continue to punctuate inside of my quotation marks, thank you very much.
