you are judging me and thjerefore by your own admission that makes you a hypocrite too
You can attempt to shift the attention on to me if you wish, but I'm not the one who came on the topic all high and mighty and stated with no apparent purpose that you weren't judging John Prescott.
come on the comment was stating that they are making judgement on someone they don't know, i was merely stating from seeing their own posts that they were doing this and it seems you are taking this as me judging them when all i was saying was that some have but i won't as i dont know him personally. so how does that make me hypocritical when you are the one whose reading too far into my comment? you mention imply and i'm glad you said that as it shows i didn't categorically say such a thing which i didn't yet you go on to say i'm a hypocrite that's judging me over something i'm alleged to have implied!!
I don't think I'm reading too far into anything - your post conveyed the following information:
1. The fact that you are not prepared to
publicly judge John Prescott.
2. The logical conclusion that you are prepared to
privately judge John Prescott.
3. The implication that you disapprove of the public judgment of John Prescott.
You might now
claim that the purpose of your post was merely to convey point 1, but that would not be a very credible claim. I don't see you posting on every topic that criticises people, stating that you don't publicly judge the subject of those other topics. I don't see a sticky topic declaring your general policy of not publicly judging people. Therefore I conclude that there was an additional point that you were making - this is simple logic.
My observation, not
judgment, as per point 3 above, is that you were, and are, judging other posters according to your own moral code, in such a way as to be hypocritical. This isn't my
judgment - it's a reasoned conclusion. You may take it as a criticism, if you think hypocrisy is a bad thing, but
I've never claimed that I'm not prepared to publicly criticise, therefore my public criticism of you is not hypocrisy.
If I'm wrong, then I'll apologise, but can you explain the purpose of your post, because "
merely stating from seeing their own posts that they were making judgement on someone they don't know" really doesn't wash I'm afraid.
