This is why this game should'nt get a parse

Its only a disclaimer for him, so he will not be tomato thrown by the wow community. Read the article further on his analysis.

Should i really cite the parts of article...

To be frank, if the article’s author says “I hate damage meters”, then 2,000 words later says “I don’t hate them”, and then says, later on, “I hate damage meters” again, that just shows indecisiveness and incoherence on their part, and a lot of inconsistency in their argument. It doesn’t really serve as a solid argument for or against parsers, anecdotalness of the entire article aside.

Edit: Now that I’m free to further comment, here is, what I feel, the main argument of the entire article:

Now, before you tune out completely and start sharpening the pitchforks, let me clarify. I understand and appreciate the positive uses for damage meters. I have Recount installed on all my characters and use it liberally. Here are the things damage meters are good for:

Monitoring your own DPS.
Using the meter to help you when tweaking specs, gear setups, or testing spell rotations.
In raids.

Here are things damage meters should not be used for:

Linking in party chat during a random PUG, without being asked to do so.
Determining who's a good DPS and who isn't.
Justifying a vote-kick.

I almost feel like I could distill this entire column down into one sentence: don't be a douche.

This argument is what several of the “pro-parser” posters on the forum argue: there is nothing wrong with parsers if they are used responsibly, and that it is wrong for people to blatantly misuse and abuse them. This article, in its entirety, is not “anti-parser”; it is “anti parser abuse”. The author is basically saying what everyone else has been saying: it’s fine if you use parsers, but don’t be a tool about it. Harassment is still unacceptable. Yes, they point out the downsides of using them, but look at Sebazy’s quote—they don’t actually dislike the parser itself, but the misuse of it. There is a difference.
