I even supported your thread about personal parser, but there's civil debate and there's downright slandering paranoia like this.
Does it ever occurred to you that maybe you should try to understand why anti-parsers are so against parsing? Some of their concerns are absolutely valid, albeit I agree with you that sometimes they don't present their arguments in the most... err, mature way... by calling pro-parsers "toxic/elitist". This is why the whole for/anti-parser debate is going in circles; both sides are just too eager to bring the others down by all means necessary.
I just hope both pro/anti-parsers would explain their reasonings eloquently on the survey so that HyoMin could summarize them easily. Maybe then people can eventually sit down and have actual discussion, rather than bashing each other like the oh-so-many-other threads about parsing.
Lastly, thank you HyoMin for taking the time to create this survey. I look forward to seeing the results.
