How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

And you made the very same assumption yourself. I mean, I guess it could stand the reason that he utilizes FFlogs for information, but doesn't actually have the parser...but that's a bit far fetched isn't it? You assumed he made the last comment based on looking at the FFlogs website, much like my assumption that he is using ACT himself...we will never truly know...but a bit of the pot calling the kettle black there.

I'm fine with your other responses. They make sense.

However, I wanted to key in on this last bit. It's not the assumption you made that I took issue with (it's a perfectly reasonable assumption). It was the broad brush you used that assumption on to paint ALL players who parse into a bucket.

The bottom line is if tomorrow SE decided to unleash an unmitigated fully in depth parser the world wouldn't end. There'd be some reports and growing pains and then the community would stabilize. It's not like by implementing it it's allowing open doors to harassment and vulgarity and the fact that you even tried to cite that as a valid reason was disingenuous at best.
