Not necessarily. If you say "You are bad and I am better" - true you are exaulting yourself.
OTOH if you say "Your behavior is bad and should not be condoned." - you are not.
Not saying I haven't done both on this topic - never said I was above acting, behaving, or typing poorly.
But, I will judge unethical behavior when I see it, be it in politics, at work, on web boards, or on the softball diamond. And, I won't apologize for being "judgmental" either - nothing wrong with being judgmental about unethical behavior. Nothing at all. And, being judgmental only requires a standard against which to judge; it does not require prefection in the person doing the judging (much as the unethical among us would like us to believe - because, conveniently for them - that lets them off the hook.)
Funny how the only two deadly sins remaining in our society are being judgmental and being less than perfect while being judgmental. Guess who that standard of "sin" benefits?
