But anyway, you have anecdotal evidence that people don't want to be perceived as a jerk, but not objective evidence that what they're choosing not to say would actually be harassment.
Yeah, didn't say it was objective harassment, just that they wouldn't want to look like they were to the whole group.

It goes to the whole "scale of effect" thing. SE came to the conclusion that disabling tells but leaving in chat had more benefits to outweigh potential abuse, and they came to the entirely separate conclusion that the benefits of having a built-in party-visible parser doesn't outweigh potential abuse. They're just two different scales is all.
