SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Sebazy]

In which we have this addict level of "I can't live without it" that has produced such a state of mind in these people that you can no longer reason with. Since you constantly see them constantly drag it back to the same vicious cycle that consist of insults and belittlement.

Please quote any example of me using insults and belittlement to further my side of this debate.

I'll be waiting.

It's okay. He doesn't understand irony and the anti-parser debate isn't as black and white as people would like to think. When the entire argument against parser basically breaks down to "it's illegal" and "elitest jerks use it to flaunt themselves" and that "all people who use parsing are elitest jerks and therefore need it to belittle everyone else they play with openly".

I won't deny that a parser can have serious negative impacts on individuals but also have positive impacts as well. People who use parsers to flaunt their ego need to get banned (and are generally the only ones who get banned because they do "flaunt their ego" by posting their parse).

The people who use parsing as a tool to help improve themselves for the betterment of their team will never be caught because they'll never openly broadcast their usage of it on a public channel and are generally using it to help themselves of their FC mates if they are interested in being helped in that way.

Of course this explanation doesn't change the fact that Parsers, at its core is illegal. It just challenges things that certain aspects people take for granted and helps distinguish the problem from the noise.
