You choose to not get facts before making a judgement about something/someone? Surely that's not what you mean.

If you are saying that you simply choose not to make judgements at all, you're fooling yourself. People make judgements about other people all the time. Can I trust this person? Should I hire this person? Is this the sort of person I want my child around? ... Is this coach going to get it if I warn him, or does he simply need to be sent packing? Etc. To simply say that you don't judge anyone ever at all under any circumstance? Sounds nice, but you're fooling yourself.

It wasn't advice.

You didn't answer what you meant by your initial statement - were you trying to imply that you do not (ergo WE should not) ask for background before judging? Or were you trying to tell us that you simply never make any judgements about people ever?

In your initial post, it seemed that you had already answered all the questions you posed.
I will defend your right to do that.
