Maybe if people stop being dicks so often SE might change their mind, as might I but no-one forces so many to act like a dick even if they are slightly frustrated. In the end my argument is only valid because so many act that way rather than privately and politely giving advice instead of the public shaming and insulting that often goes on by people using them. Being pissed off or frustrated is not a valid excuse for acting like a dick anymore so than it being a get out of jail free card for murdering the people you simply don't like.
There is more people parsing then you think. Those people don't mention it most of the time so you don't even know. The only way for you to know people are parsing is when they mention it and insult someone. This gives you confirmation bias that parser user=dick. Only a fraction of people with parsers actually say/do anything towards other players. This parser "harassment" you speak of is almost non-existent. There is more harassment happening without parsers being involved. I also consider dead weight crybully victims joining parties a serious form of harassment.
