The Real Problem with Parsers

If this is considered harassment, then player interaction in general is harassment (and goes on to show just how south this community has gotten if they can't even take personal responsibility for this sort of thing and the developers have to hold our hands through everything. Anything that gets added to the game can be ammunition for harassment.

And you stopped before the important part: Whether or not it's considered harassment makes no difference if people report it and waste SE's time responding to an increase in tickets. Even if 10,000 people report someone for harassment and none of those reports are actionable, SE still had to devote time and resources to those 10,000 tickets.

Nobody won victories for being able to carry a gun by saying "Well, I could just stab someone with my pen, so what are you going to do, ban pens?" Nobody won victories for drug legalization by saying "Well, I could just overdose on Tylenol, what are you going to do, ban Tylenol?" So why do people think that they'll win victories for parsers by saying "Well, I could just harass someone for wearing purple clothes, are you going to ban purple dyes?"
