So let's review somethings here:

-kicking silently: toxic.
-Kicking with an explanation: toxic
-Not kicking but explaining what's going wrong without openly mentioning parsers: toxic
-Not kicking but explaining what's going wrong while mentioning parsers: toxic
-Try to be nice and patient without parsers: toxic
-Try to be nice and patient with parsers: toxic

So I guess it really doesn't matter because it's clear that at the end of the day, you're far more likely to be labeled toxic for virtually anything not because of parsers but because you were supposed to accommodate silently instead.
