Elite, Elitism, and Elitist

[Darkstride]

I'm being serious.

Damage Parser = Elitism

That's why is against ToS

Parsers can actually be a positive thing when used properly for self-awareness, character development and even constructive criticism.

People with nasty attitudes will have them with or without a parser. It's just a tool that gives them numbers to back up their argument. And they aren't always wrong....some people do severely underperform whether they know it or not. An equally bad problem is that underperformers don't want to know (or others to know) that they may be the weak link in an otherwise good group. It all depends on context. Its simply not true that "Parsers are bad" or "Parsers make people elitists". The problem with a negative elitist is the unecessary rudeness and general superiority complex, not their ability to gauge another person's performance.

I agree. I would like for the thread to stay on topic, but it really is the same as saying guns don't kill people, but the person using the gun kills people.
