This was shot down by suggestions ranging from people saying they would kick anyone 'hiding' their numbers and that it would lead to more toxicity, to people who demanded to be able to see the numbers for players who did not opt in.

    A solution that gives those who want to parse their data the ability to do so, and protects the option of players who do not. And yet it was rejected out of hand with the suggestion that it would create more toxic behavior. Ironically those suggesting that were the ones categorizing not opting in as 'hiding' something.

    If you wish to call that selective parsing, go ahead, I'll continue to refer to it as optional parsing, since that is literally what was suggested. I also note that the principal alternative discussed amounts to forced/mandatory parsing of everyone. Archaell made a suggestion that slightly altered the idea of optional parsing, by segregating the DF Q based on parse options. I disagreed with that because splitting the Q in DF is a bad idea IMHO.

    Really, I have read back over my posts a couple of times now because I take criticism seriously. I don't honestly see where, or why you take such offense at my posts. As an example, you've taken huge offense because I said you need to learn more about human nature.

    Why is that something that you consider either offensive or an attack on you, it's neither, it's simply a response to your statements, the strongest interpretation of it would be that I doubt the depth of your understanding of human nature, and yet you bring it up here as an instance where you're saying I attacked you.
