That'd be difficult, considering Square Enix's stance on Naming/Shaming, and people being unwilling to post screenshots because of that. You need only look at the nature of people, and how they act on the internet. Give this a read:

That's about all I can do.

EDIT: I could tell you about my few experiences I had with people whom I could have just seen using the parser as a means to harass the party, one of them being a boisterous raid leader I met while running Haukke Manor NM. The SOB treated it like a godsdamned high-end raid. Here this guy was, decked out in top-of-the-line gear, and the Dragoon in the party, who looked to be in their mid-30s, ran ahead of the party once. He stuck his nose in the air and started talking down to that person. Then about 5 minutes later, the "raid leader" initiates a vote-kick for that Dragoon, out of nowhere. I vote "No," but, of course, the Dragoon still gets kicked. I ask the "raid leader" why, and he gave me some bullshit about how the Dragoon kept running ahead of the party (despite me seeing him do it only once), and what I say doesn't matter, because I don't tank, I just sit in the back, twanging my bow (I was playing bard @ the time).

I can see someone like THAT abusing the parser system. Like I said, that was just one of few experiences I had. People in FFXIV, as well as people in just about any MMO, are douchebags. Sometimes, even the nice ones. Give someone a parser, guess what that invites.

EDIT 2: I was running Lost City of Amdapor. The PLD tank decided to remove Shield Oath after one wipe. I had to work my ass off keeping him alive, taking away my ability to DPS as much as before. After the last boss, the tank: "Nobody likes a healer who doesn't DPS." *leaves* Imagine him with an in-game parser. There are a LOT of people like him.

From your own example though, how could this guy be any more of an Ahole if a parser was added? some people are just jerks, whether there is a parser available or not. In fact, I'd even argue that it can only be a good way of maybe reigning in people like that, maybe they wouldn't be quite so vocal if we could all see their numbers as well,

I would point out though, that you use this as an example of abuse of a parser, but actually from what you've stated nowhere does this happen, he never mentioned any numbers, just kicked someone from running ahead?
