Exactly. Parsers shouldn't be endorsed or have an official standing with SE. I think where things stand now are perfect. We already have parsers we can use and we're happy with that - at least those of us that aren't elitist are. I really do think that the argument that parsers be endorsed as an in-game element does nothing but support an elitist group of savage attitudes, and would give too much power to harassment and undue discrimination/trolling.
