    That's an argument against players who are jerks. This is going to sound terribly American, but this is like saying "Guns kill people", or at least it's a similar argument. Parsers aren't hurting players, the only purpose they serve is as a tool for spitting out information. How that information is used is up to the user. The user's words, criticism, or poor use of that information is what people don't like. I think a lot of people refuse to understand that, and instead, are more content with arguing that the root of the problem is the parser. It's not.

    Let me tell you somethin' about some of those crazy people you see on the news. If they intended on murdering someone, and didn't have a gun, they'd probably have done it witha knife. If they don't have a knife, they'll use a rock, if they can't use a rock, they'll use their hands. They're just crazy. People who are jerks are gonna be jerks. No parser? They'll just find more inventive ways to make fun of you, it's not a new concept. People who wanna start stuff will do it in any way they can.
