How about knocking off the hubris? Because you claim it "the big picture" doesn't make it so. Your entire stance has essentially been to shield people from any potential harassment even if it means tossing aside beneficial tools because heaven forbid someone's feelings get hurt. The bigger picture is recognizing these same people can report harassment, thus mitigating the negative aspect of parses should it arise. Which is another factor. You have nothing except anecdotal evidence yet insist parses will cause a significant increase in toxicity. And you've continuously ignored examples where this logic is applied to other scenarios and makes little to no sense, i.e, banning chat or tells would be silly despite people being able to abuse it.

The only echo chamber is the one you're trying to create.
