I believe if that post is read more carefully you wouldn't find it to be judgmental except in the sense that one interprets the situations as being good or bad. And in those cases it's the readers issue, not the authors.

St. Paul is quoted as saying, "When I was a boy I did the things a boy would do, and now that I'm a man I do the things a man does."

On many occasions I have attempted to direct the wrath of God upon those black-and-white thinkers, accusing them of every moral transgression I could dredge up. I was not in that post.

I tried to carefully point out that black and white thinking is a normal phase of development, quite useful in some conditions. We all went through that phase. What I did say was that it was young and immature, which is true. There's no sense calling a larva a butterfly. That doesn't mean the larva is bad or the butterfly is good.

And then I added as circumstances change it can be less and less useful, and then down right fatal.. Again, said without condemnation I can see.

I added, finally, that without a history of developing past that particular strategy it would be difficult to deal successfully with the rest of the world.

I'll stand by every word. I do pity those thinkers, and at times worse than that. And I do believe they will lead the US down a primrose path to destruction. In that post I don't think I said that was bad, or wrong, or that they were evil.

As a practical matter, I don't regard the demise of mankind as a particularly tragic occasion in the Grand Scheme of things. In the sense of the bigger picture it would be a boon for most other species, and maybe something will develop with a better sense of it's debt to world around it. We have not been good to each other or our world. Now that paragraph is judgmental.
