There are enough systems in the game for people to use in order to be jerks to their fellow player, we really dont need to try and put out a fire by pouring gasoline on it.

A personal parser that you alone can see is fine, one that is essentially used to see other peoples parses is a recipe for abuse. Though no one really wants a personal parser but a small minority, the rest want public parsers so they can ostracize the unworthy under the guise of "helpful tool".
If we're going to use anecdotal evidence, I've been in multiple Shinryu and a few Savage pugs with it being made apparent they're parsing yet not a single "condescending" remark. In fact, I more often find people take offense when told they aren't performing well regardless of the tone used. Look at the number of self admitted casual players in this thread generalizing all raiders who parse as toxic or advocating they should be banned instantly. Is it because all raiders are toxic or perhaps they're nervous about being held accountable?

And a personal parse won't accomplish anything. People we just make PFs demanding you post your numbers in chat.
