Clearly he's not one who just did this in the moment, he had a whole setup for shaming people and it sounds like he does it often.
No he may not have been punished because of the parser but he could only truly bad mouth that player because of having one. And as we know parser are against the Tos. Right now people are save from punishment because before that SE did not take outside informations as something to punish but that line has blurred now.

So if they are fair and are now using outside information, anyone streaming with a parser should theoretically be punished. Because they are using something which is against the ToS. If they turn a blind eye on that (and Yoshida and his teams are probably watching such streams for world first clears) but do punish someone else then they are purely biased.

Also this means that they somehow until now also turned a blind eye to any other evidence about hacking or botting yet somehow followed that one example through..
