I don't have any confusion, nor used rDPS as a means to harass other players. After my post, do you really feel you need to explain to me what in-game harassment is? However, maybe I am misinterpreting your intent. In any case, the prevention of harassing other players is exactly what I am going for so I believe we share a common goal here.

If a parser is used in any way to correct another player, it is no longer a personal parser. You understand this, right? If you think tossing out facts exempts condescending/toxic behavior, you are also mistaken. That's not the way this game, or the world works.
A parser in itself is not toxic because it just shows facts and facts are never toxic.
Toxicity occours when facts get handled between people and how the facts get formed and transfered.

So the solution would be to shut down the game and exterminate humanity to prevent toxicity.
