EW GROSS what do you PARSE HEADS want everyone to LIVE in the BALANCE DISCORD?

Imagine being this immature in any other hobby. See that accomplished rock climber? Want some advice? NO WAY. What is he some kind of NERD who thinks everyone should be perfect or quit? It's all so tiresome.
Imagine it being a game that people play to chill and have fun, not some kind of competitive sport that everyone needs to be perfect at. There are literally kids playing this game, and your /s comment about "parse heads" cuts both ways. They don't need people chiding them to git gud and improve their parse either.
