I admit that parsers can be wrongly used by gauging someone's DPS and getting downright offensive about it, it has happened to me too, so the best fix I can think of is growing a thicker skin. Simply enjoying the game whether you are good at it or not is fine by itself, but in my opinion it's different when it's about MMOs, you are playing with other people who you don't even know, so it's inconvenient for the others if you aren't pulling your weight. Hardly a big deal in dungeons and other casual content, but don't even think about trying to clear any of the harder content if you aren't willing to up your game accordingly.
See, this is the kind of result we should be focusing on. Rather than being afraid of the people that'd be hurt by it by people who would harrass with or without parsers, let's work on the good we ourselves can acheive and the people we can help. Good for you and your friend.

If your so worried about assholes, so why not make an effort to just be more helpful to people and drown them out?
